NYCC 2013- Thurs

All photography by Negative Pop, Kristin Debenedictis, and myself.

New York Comic Con (NYCC) was held this year, 2013, on October 10–13, and it was a blast!! As it always is. The first day, October 10, was a Thursday. Usually Thursdays are kind of quiet and relaxed,well relatively I suppose. But I think that this might've been the most packed Thursday ever! There was a huge a line just to get into the show and pick up tickets for those who had not gotten them in the mail.

The first thing that we did, we as an Negative Pop, a.k.a. Alan, Kristin, and myself, was wait to get into the Raze movie panel, which is an action-horror hybrid starring Zoe Bell. I reviewed it for best– horror–movies.com a few months ago, but I'll talk about this panel more on that site in the near future.

As always there were lots of cute little things around the convention. I saw mascots of Pac-Man and the fruits that are in the game. They were really adorable, but I think I like Felix the Cat even more. Enough so that Kristin and I got a picture with him. While, we had Starbucks coffee, cause God knows you need coffee to fully function at this convention!

One of my favorite makeups has to be this zombie girl, Amanda Citron which she did by herself. I've known her mom, Rayvn, for a long time on the net, but we finally met in person at NYCC. Anyway, I was just blown away by her daughter's work. Props to her.

Kristin and I are huge fans of The Misfits. I've met Jerry Only, of said band, before but she hadn't, so it was cool to see him and her to meet him. I actually ended up visiting his table 3 days total, though I only saw him one more time, as he wasn't there on Sunday. But, more on that day in a future  post. Regardless, he was mad cool as he signed a bunch of shit for free and posed for pictures for free. I mean he is a fucking legend, so how freaking awesome is that he does this all for free?! All hail Jerry Only! All hail The fucking Misfits.

We also hung out by the FEARnet table and met my long time internet friend Luke LaBeau, who works for them, in person. He's a cool dude and had some really cool horror flick tattoos. We also met the beautiful Leeanna Vamp, but I'll save her when I posted the interview that I did with her. For now, I leave you with this cool Sam from Trick 'R' Treat prop.

I also saw Vampy Bitme, but more on her in a very near future and did a little shopping, as well. All in all, we had a good time great time actually. I have so much more to speak about all the cool shit we saw and did, but those writes up are coming. So, just have a little patience. Between this show and Exxxotica NJ; I have tons of writes to post!

Monster-Mania 3/9/13

Although for many years I had heard and known of the Monster-Mania horror convention, I had never actually gone to one. It wasn't for lack of trying or wanting, either. But, in the end it was always so far away. While, it is in New Jersey, Cherry Hill to be precise, it's closer to Phillie. So much so that the train goes to Phillie then you gotta take a train to go back to Jersey. It's a long ride that none of us ever wanted to do. Until, that is, my friend Freddie mentioned that we should go. And, so finally this past Saturday we did. While, both he and Pat (one of my other friends that went with us) had gone before, for me this was my first time at the show. But, I had a blast!

Now, I gotta say the guest list was impressive from the get go. It was packed with fans, as a result. This in particular was due to having so much of The Walking Dead cast. The lines for said guests were INSANE! Especially for Michael Rooker, even more for Laurie "Andrea" Holden, and even more than that for Danai "Michonne" Guiria. The prices were for them were high, too. Rooker, who back in the day charged only 20 at Chiller, was charging 40! Michonne is known to have a rabid following so her line was a given that it would be long. So much so that she had her room, upstairs!

 

Despite playing one of the most hated characters on the show, Holden had what was probably the second biggest line, at the show.

 

Back when I met Rooker at Chiller, he was the life of the party. He was drinking and had all the girls around him. This time around he didn't hang with the fans after the show. Perhaps, he is too popular, now?

Anyway, I didn't bother meeting any of the cast. Not at those prices or those lines, I kind of figured they would be bad. Anyway, I did meet other celebs:

The main one I wanted to was Katharine Isabelle. Now, I had been a fan of this Canadian beauty since the Ginger Snaps Trilogy (the first two installments are favorites of mine) and enjoyed her in Freddy Vs. Jason, but it was her turn in the amazing American Mary that really sold me as a fan of hers. Since, I had contacted the Soska twins that I was meeting her, they told me to say, "Hi" to her. 

When I relayed that message to her, she told me to tell them that she "loved them". I asked her if she ever saw the their first movie of theirs, the fun Dead Hooker in a Trunk. She told me that they had made her watch it before doing Mary. They feared she wouldn't wanna work with them after viewing it. It turned out she loved it. And, how could she not? It's such a fun flick! My review for it can be found here: http://themastergio.blogspot.com/2011/09/dead-hooker-in-trunk.html In all, Katharine is not only even more stunning in person, but she is also a total sweetie.

Next up was the very sexy Janina Gavankar. Now, I been a fan of hers since she first appeared on True Blood. She's great on that show as a shape-shifter and, best of all, frequently nude. She's also awesome on Arrow, where she plays a cop. Sadly, though, she ain't naked on that one. Anyway, I got her to sign my copy of True Blood season 4 on blu-ray. She was charging 30 bucks for an autograph, plus 10 for a pic with her. Oh and no candids. I was taken by her hotness, and the memory of her boobs, so I gave her 40 bucks. Regardless, she is very pleasant in person. Also, she looks absolutely hot, more so in this Optimus Prime is my boyfriend tee.

While, I did meet the Misfits many years ago, at a Fangoria convention, I couldn't pass up the chance to meet them, again, for free autographs. Truth is the autograph was free, so long as you bought one of their 5 buck posters. You got an extra one for free. Eh, not bad really. Now, Dez had left for the day for a show, and only Jerry Only was there. But, let's be honest, he's the guy you think about when you think about the band. Only is always a nice guy. He was having lunch while signing for fans. It just further cements them as my all time fav punk band, even if the current album ain't my cup of blood. 

The dude in front of me on line got a coffin case for a guitar, which Jerry drew on and signed. See how cool he is!

Now, those are the only celebs that I met and got their autographs. That isn't to say I didn't meet anyone else, though. After, the show was over, our little gang went to get lunch. We came back and hung around at the bar. There I met Lew Temple. He played one of the funniest characters on The Walking Dead. He's quite the nice guy in person. As, he posed for pics with every fan who came up to him, and he even did an interview at the bar for someone! A cool guy all around.

There was quite a bit of cosply, more than likely due to the fact that there was a costume contest. We didn't attend said contest, cause our friend Matt, who joined us at night, didn't have a ticket. Actually, had we known Pat would surely have bought Dr. Satan, and I would've bought my cosplay, that I'm doing now, that of everyone's favorite cinematic pyschotic pig: Officer Matt Cordell, the Maniac Cop (the version from the first film). Anyway, here are the cosplays I took pics of:

Apparently the Empire is now hiring hot women as Stormtroopers. You can never charge the Empire with being sexist! 

Jawas are lot bigger than I remember them being! 

My fav cosply of the day! Killer Klowns from Outer Space, baby! 

Over at the FEARnet table the killer from Tobe Hooper's Toolbox Murders, Harry Warden from My Bloody Valentine, and Cropsey from The Burning were hanging out.

Not a cosplayer, but rather a dummy, Crypt Keeper was at the table, too. John Kassir, who did his voice, was signing inside. My friend Freddie met him. Kassir's a really cool guy, actually. 

And, that's it. I would definitely come back to Monster-Mania, in the future. It's got a more relaxed feel than Chiller, probably due to the fact that while people hang at the bar, there is no actual party. But, that's fine. And, it makes up for the fact that I will likely not be at the actual Chiller con in April. Why? Cause, it's a week after Exxxotica AC, which I will be at. There, you will find my crew and I covering the event.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed my Monster-Mania coverage. Did any of you go? Do you have some good stories to share? Please do so in comment form below.

America, Fuck Yeah!!!

It's the 4th of July!! And, what better time than to celebrate with some real good old American made fun!

This month, on July 22, marks the opening date of the new Captain America movie, Captain America: The First Avenger. I think it looks real fucking good. The trailers have me excited for it. It should at least make us forget all those horrible Capt movies made over the course of time. Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins both have promotions tied in with the release of the movie. I love the Captain America donuts! Real fuckin' good! Although, I don't get the chocolate Hydra sundaes. Shouldn't they be green? Just sayin... Captain America is one of the earliest comics I ever read, and he remains one of my fav comic book heroes. So, here is hoping for the best!

And, now for something that is awesome all year round, not just the 4th, PORN!!!! Here are three porn stars, I wish I could spend today with (and, I'm sure you do/ will want/ want to, as well). After all, they put the FUCK in fuck yeah!!!

Tori Black: Tori is the American girl that I wish lived next door to me! She is truly one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid my eyes on. Rumors are saying she is pregnant and done with porn. Other rumors state that she will only do girl/ girl. Whatever the truth maybe, I wish Ms. Black all the luck in the world.




Alana Evans- So last night I watched my copy of Rodney Moore's excellent comp of some of his best facials, Monster Facials.com the Movie Volume 3. In it, there is a clip taken from Different Strokes 5. In this scene, Alana plays a hooker that Rodney picks up, after being warned by the beautiful Phyllisha Anne (playing a cop), not to do that. He fucks her, then drops her off, with a big facial splattered on her. Officer Anne spots her. She notices the cum on her beautiful face, and to confirm that is indeed semen, she smells and licks it off of her!!! She arrests Evans, while Moore runaway. It's one of my fav facials in the history of porn, and it definitely makes me say FUCK YEAH!!!
Alana is an all American blonde haired, blue eyed beauty from Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Coincidentally her birthday is in two days, so happy birthday, Alana! She is a mom, in real life, making her an honest to God, MILF!

Asa Akira- Finally, if I was allowed to only pick one American babe to spend this 4th with, then I would go with the Asian American goddess known as Asa Akira, of course! No shocker, here, and a great excuse for me to post one more pic of her. Asa Akira? FUCK YEAH, baby!!!!

Remember that hot Asian chick (Kira Calvell) in the USA bathing suit in House of the Dead? I know I do! And, so do my pants!! Can, I get another FUCK YEAH?

And, now a song from America's, no fuck that the world's GREATEST punk band, The Misfits!!! It's American Psycho!!!


To all my dear readers and friends, I wish you and yours a very happy and safe 4of July! May you eat and drink and have a blast!! FUCK YEAH!!!
