This weekend I will be away at the Monster-Mania Con in Cherry Hill New Jersey! I try to attend as many horror conventions a year as possible, and Monster-Mania is always at least one of them.
So while I’m rubbing elbows with Ace Frehley, Fred Williamson and the cast of The Walking Dead I may not be able to post anything for a couple of days. Oh, but when I’m back be prepared for some stories.
If you’re in the area stop by and say hello, I’ll most likely be helping out (or more like hanging out) at the Knee High Horror booth!
(Formerly Hilton Hotel: (Same hotel, different name) 4 Miles past Exit 34B of I-295.
Reservations: 800-227-6963 Don’t wait! (Ask for the special Monster-Mania Room Rate) FREE PARKING
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
