While, we Chucky fans recently got the sad news that the wonderful Chucky series isn't getting a fourth season (leaving us with a unresolved cliffhanger of a third season finale), we just got some great news this morning!

It's helmed by director Thommy Hutson, who gave us the superlative and comprehensive docus, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th, so this makes this news even more exciting!

New York Comic Con 2022: Friday

Friday, October 7, 2022, at New York Comic Con had me debuting the first of my two new cosplays: Obi Wan Kenobi. This was my first time, doing a true Star Wars cosplay. As while, I had done Darth Vader at Chiller in 2015, it was just a thrown together costume, and not a full blown cosplay. At least, that's how I feel. Anyway, the first thing on my schedule was the Chucky panel (the only panel I was able to get/ had lined up to attend). But, before hand, I had to battle the Darth Vader bride! I LOVE this cosplay, by the way!

Anyway, the Chucky panel was great. A bunch of the cast and crew was there and they answered some fun questions and played some cool clips and videos. Panels were the only place the mask mandate was enforced. If someone didn't have a mask on, they handed one to them. That being there were a few inside who still didn't wear one, cause wearing a mask is so difficult isn't it?! 

Here are some of my favorite cosplays that I saw that day:

These two were dancing up a storm and having a genuinely fun time. As well, as attracting a crowd of their own.

While, I had a great time, on all of Friday, the honest to God highlight of the day (and certainly one of the top highlights of the entire con) was this following interaction. I saw this awesome cosplay of a Batman Returns Catwoman. Someone was taking her pic, and I asked her if I could take one next. She said sure, but when she looked up and saw my Obi Wan cosplay, she asked if she could take one with me! I answered of course! I felt so vey flattered, that it felt like that was the right thing to end the day with.

I'll end this post with a pic of me in said cosplay, before I put on my robe and headed to Comic Con earlier this day.

Next up, fun times on what is usually the biggest day at Comic Con: Saturday! Note, that I said usually...
