Horror Weekend Thrives Despite Terrorism




(George Romero and fan, Dee Wallace Stone, Priscilla Barnes)

A good time was had by fans of the macabre at the annual Horrorfind Convention at Hunt Valley Marriott Hotel this past weekend. Numerous vendors displayed posters, toys, books, and videos in the horror genre. Several celebrities were present including Dee Wallace Stone (the mother in E.T.), Priscilla Barnes (Three's Company, The Devils Rejects), and legendary director George Romero (The Night of the Living Dead trilogy, Creepshow). Despite the absence of others like Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner), Denise Crosby (Star Trek:The Next Generation), and Adrienne Barbeau (Maude, Escape from New York) due to issues including air flight disruption from the recent terrorist threat, this was a crowded event with something for every horror fan.
