Queen_Sindel Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Sorry, but we can not mention any events not run by Showmasters on here. Not that I am aware of anything focusing on horror anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coles84 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I would love Showmasters to do a Horror con. Some of the best guests I ever met are horror stars. Danielle Harris, Kim Myers, Mark Patton, Jennifer blanc biehn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coles84 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Haha I share the passion for horror old and new. You will find LFCC will have good selection of horror guests, it normally does! Awesome screen name, now if Sherri Moon Zombie was announced I think I would release a happy scream lol. On subject of horror V/H/S has been released this week. Very much talked about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak123 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 V/H/S was TERRIBLE, so over hyped! But YES YES for the Horror con, if anyone can do it SM can! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Love real Horror, i don't mind "scary movies" such as slasher flicks, but to me they only contain horror elements rather than are a true Horror film. Sometimes real things are more frightning than a made up boggyman or it's the things you don't see that strike terror. Can NOT wait to see the new Evil Dead, it looks wicked! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverGeek Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks, i wore that to the Glasgow CollectorMania last year. I have a few more high quailty images of my costume in my Facebook pic folders if you wish to see more feel free to add me. You can find a link on my profile page. I'm a big fan of gore and pratical effects of cgi and other enhanced effects. With the right lighting, make-up and set you can create a real moody atmosphere much better than a computer effect is able to do. That's the appeal with Horror films for me, they tend to try to use as many pratical effects as possible. The weta workshop is still THE go to place for creating builds that will always hold up over other effects, you can then use cgi and such to help enhance those real psyical effects to add even more debth. That to me is ten times better than any overly cgi'd film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malky Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Agree a Horror con needs to happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SciFiRob Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Would definitely attend a good horror con. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wortsie Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 There aren't any horror-specific conventions in the UK. Horror is not percieved as being a genre which would generate enough interest and most importantly income in the UK. Horror guests do attend general cons, e.g. Robert Englund, but for a dedicated horror con I'm afraid we're living in the wrong continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 They are a few zombie cons i know about that are in the UK, but can't say i know any genral Horror cons, though there is plenty of Horror related stuff all around the UK and there is a huge intrest for it. There's not many event type cons i would be intrested in, but a Horror one would defo get me going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister mosh Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) i 2nd,3rd,and 4th this...ive seen some of the line ups the US cons get and US is a big country and yet every area seems to get kick ass horro conventions theres loads: so i really dont see how they couldnt have one horror convention in the UK, Edit: It is against forum rules to discuss/mention non-SM events so I have had to edit your post.

Graphic_Delusions Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Not sure if it was a Showmasters event, but there was one horror convention many years ago (in fact my 1st ever attended con) although it was very very small. Guests included was Caroline Monroe, Ingrid Pitt, Warwick Davis (I got him to do the Leprechaun voice, ha), Simon Bamford, and one of the Evil Dead ladies - among other guests that I can't remember. From what I do remember it wasn't anything like how America do it, the turn out wasn't great either. Horror in general is bigger in America, just go there during Halloween and you'll see what I mean. I do think the genre is expanding here in the UK and I do think a new event can be successful with the right guests. Germany has one of the biggest European annual horror event, maybe one day London can take that position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted September 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2013 I honestly think it's as much to do with costs as anything. The lucky thing about America is most of the guests are based over there so they can have a huge lineup at their various events with little cost to them getting the guests there. It's simply not the case here sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
