HORRORFIND’s FAMILIAR FACES


The latest edition of the horror convention Horrorfind in Hunt Valley, MD, on August 11, 2007, was a bit smaller in vendor participation, but not lacking in star power as usual. Headlining the actors and authors was Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Time After Time, Star Trek: Generations) whose latest works include stints on TV’s Heroes and the upcoming Rob Zombie remake of Halloween. A gracious fellow who had the longest of autograph seeking lines, McDowell certainly has lost none of his appeal.

Also signing and mixing with the public were such notables as Udo Kier who gained fame through the early 1970s as Andy Warhol’s Dracula. There was Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters and The Crow, and Michael Gross from TV’s Family Ties and the Tremors movies (featuring one of the greatest man versus monster face-offs in movie history). Other notables included Dee Wallace Stone from E.T., makeup effects guru now actor, Tom Savini, and many others. One notable absentee was actress Amanda Plummer.

Yes, there were the usual vendors selling posters and other horror-related items that seemed quite bizarre, but a ghoulish time was had by all.
