from Shout! Factory:
So we’re taking off for the big event in a matter of minutes. It’s set to be a great year for Shout! Factory. As a reminder, we wanted to let you know about our “whats and wheres.” The Roger Corman: King of the Independents panel is in Room 25ABC on Friday at 5:30. It stars Roger and Julie Corman, directors Joe Dante and Allan Holzman, actors Sid Haig and Mary Woronov and moderator Alex Stapleton, who recently completed a film about the beloved filmmaker.
We’ll be in booth #3749 again. That’s Hall D in the back row near the concession stand (yes, we planned it that way). We’ve scheduled a slew of signings! In chronological order: Thursday at 2:00 p.m. with Larry Blamire, Trish Geiger, Susan McConnell, Andrew Parks, Frank Dietz and Mark Redfield (Dark and Stormy Night and The Lost Skeleton Returns Again); Friday at 11:00 a.m. with Roger Corman, Julie Corman and Joe Dante (the Roger Corman’s Cult Classics series, including Piranha [1978]); Friday at 3:00 p.m. with Stephen Collins (Tales of the Gold Monkey); Saturday at 3:00 p.m. with Gregg Berger (the animated G.I. Joe: The Movie and The Transformers); and Saturday at 6:00 p.m. with Jim Beaver (Dark and Stormy Nights / Supernatural).
We’ll be selling many of our new and upcoming releases and offering special gifts with purchase for these titles: Max Headroom: The Complete Series (an 8×10 cast photo), Dark and Stormy Night and The Lost Skeleton Returns Again (a bonus DVD called Tales from the Pub), Gamera, The Giant Monster and Gamera Vs. Barugon (an 8-pack postcard set), G.I. Joe: The Movie (a dogtag flash drive) and Piranha (a 16×20 poster). All items are limited edition, while supplies last.
Lastly, we’ll have a Max Headroom photo booth set up where you can “become” Max Headroom. Stand behind the cut-out, sport the nifty Max glasses and have your picture taken. Max sunglasses are also limited in numbers, so come by early! The booth will be open at these times and days: Wednesday at 5:00-7:00 p.m., Thursday at 10:00-noon and 4:00-6:00 p.m., Friday at 5:00-7:00 and Saturday and Sunday from 9-noon. See you at the Con!
