The days of Horror images and smiles.

The Monsterpalooza festival this year April 15th, 2012 was a great gathering of everyone you considered to be a scary image of some of the greatest horror films ever made. This show had everything from the days of Belo Lugosi, Eddie Munster and the Munsters T.V shows, The best 20 bucks my broke ass spent was getting a picture with him and a signed 8×10, Yeah I smiled a devious grin smile for sure. The Amercian Warewolf in London and many great others also were seen walking around the festival and show grounds. Have you ever wondered the costs, times and make-up hours it takes to create for example to make one of the Cenobites from the Hellraiser movies? I watched it all literally unfold, twist and turn in every direction, I was in complete awe of it all once completed. The statues and figures where quite expense i was almost caught touching one for a great picture with the camera I just purchased. I couldn’t resist and man soo many things I just want at my house for display. One day it will all just happenn to work out I’m sure. Here’s some great images and smiles that the day of the Rainbow gathering that night worth every smiling moment is this why Rock N Roll Industries working in the same building as Coffin Case seems to work so well together? Creature skateboards, The life of music and horror always rocking and rolling is where to be always known as “Were Never Far From The Stage”. Next one lets see?
