New Jersey Horror Con & Film Festival 2018 – Day 1: Dana DeLorenzo & Ghost Girl Greetings
  |  @   |  

On Friday, the Showboat Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City hosted the first night of the 2018 New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival. Fans packed in to meet and greet their favorite horror icons, rock gods, and buy as much merch as they could carry.

One the highlights of the inaugural evening was Ash vs Evil Dead‘s own Kelly Maxwell, Dana DeLorenzo. DeLorenzo was constantly busy throughout the night signing for fans, taking pictures, and empowering young fans. She managed to find a few minutes to come by and discuss what’s next for her after STARZ failed to renew Ash vs Evil Dead for a fourth season earlier this year.

Check out the video here below, where she talks about her upcoming film Friendsgiving.

New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival: Day 2 – The People Under The Stairs Reunion Panel
  |  @   |  

It’s been over 25 years since Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs came out in 1991. Despite grossing nearly 4x its budget, the film is rarely mentioned among Craven’s best work. The film is marketed as a pure horror film, the poster featuring an ominous skull over a creepy house, and even the title triggers visions of monsters in the basement. What the film is though, is way ahead of its time. The film is brimming with social commentary that fits much better in 2017’s America than it did perhaps in the early ’90s. This weekend at the New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival in Iselin, NJ, stars of the film reunited to meet fans, sign autographs, and take pictures. On Saturday morning, Sean Whalen (Roach), Yan Birch (Stairmaster), Brandon Adams (Fool) and Kelly Jo Minter (Ruby) took the stage for a Q&A discussion with fans.

New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival Day 2: The Goonies Panel
  |  @   |  

Emanating from the Renaissance Woodbridge Hotel in Iselin, NJ; the New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival welcomed several film reunions. Over the weekend stars from The People Under the Stairs, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, and Night of the Demons (1988) all met up for group panels and Q&As. Perhaps the most eagerly attended panel though was for The Goonies. NJ Horror Con welcomed Mikey and Andy, Sean Astin and Kerri Green and the room was packed upstairs with fans of all ages, many wearing Goonies-themed shirts.

Moderated by Chris Stiles, Astin and Green took the stage to a loud applause. Stiles open by asking about their audition process back in 1984-85, and Astin jokes about being shocked he got the role since he couldn’t remember any of the lines. Kerri Green adds how embarrassed she felt about losing her shoes during her audition, later finding they were taken by director Richard Donner as a joke. It’s fascinating listening to these actors discuss day to day interactions with titans of Hollywood, Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner. Astin described Donner as scary but lovable. The two trade stories, mostly about Astin being a kid and the kids running wild on set, while Kerri and the older kids were much more relaxed. Chris Stiles asked about the competition for box office in those amazing middle 80s years with films like Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Commando, etc coming out and that lead to a panel-long gag between Stiles and Astin over Chris’s obsession with film competition.
