Hey Creeps!
I have some great news!!!
This Sunday April 19th at The Fangoria Weekend of Horrors I am moderating the Repo panel with Darren Lynn Bousman, Terrance Zdunich, Ogre of Skinny Puppy, and horror legend Bill Moseley!
Panel is 3:15 pm.
LA Convention Center (1201 South Figueroa),
West Hall Building. In the Main Auditorium (Concourse 151 & 152).
As you may know, I am pretty attached and obsessed with this film, and I couldnt be happier to continue to be a part of it, with my pals from the film!
Few things in the past years have affected my life more than Repo! The Genetic Opera. When I first heard about it, I was certainly intrigued, but nothing could prepare me for the beauty and originality that Repo brought. As a journalist I had covered the film from the start. I was lucky enough to visit the set and even luckier when Darren and Terrence asked me to accompany them on the third Repo Road Tour. While on tour I met hundreds of people that were just as obsessed as I am. Many of them eclipsed my passion for the film by coming dressed up as characters, acting along with the film, singing and dancing in the aisles, and even creating museum quality props that looked strikingly like the ones used in the film.
But the real thing that I saw was the camaraderie amongst the fans that is unrivaled in recent history. Fans were becoming friends; fans were using their common love for the film to form true bonds with each other. They traveled hundreds of miles in the dead of winter to see a film, and along the way a family was born.
Last month brought me to two more Repo shadow cast Midnight screenings, the first with the insanely cool Night Surgeons in Pittsburgh, PA and later to the sold out show at the Sunset 5 in Hollywood. The 30 person shadow cast Addicted To The Knife performed the entire film and did an incredible job.
To date I have traveled the country with the film, hosted it in multiple cities, have been a guest on the fan run Repo Radio Show, and last weekend I hosted another Repo Shadow Cast 90 Day Delinquents in Chicago, IL (my 28th time in the theater)! The weekend was incredible, meeting so many fans and new fans all finding a new creative outlets for them through this film.
Since I began my journey following Repo I brought my video camera and began documenting as much as possible surrounding the phenomenon that Repo has created with the fans.
Look for some video teasers on www.iconsoffright.com very soon!
The phenomenon has begun and I cant wait for you to be a part of it!
