Every year the ladies of Gores Truly look forward to one event almost as much as Halloween, and Friday the 13th, and the Nightmare before Christmas… and it is Dragon*Con. The annual brew-ha-ha is the largest genre convention on the east coast and has something to interest everyone. Even the avid horror fan.
Dragon*Con is held annually over Labor Day weekend in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. All five of the Gores Truly Murder-Hers will be romping through the convention, picking up new Horror Costume of the Month contenders, scoping out horror celebs, and catching the horror film festival. If you see one of us about, stop and say hi!
This year’s D*C has quite a few horror goodies masquerading in the Dark Fantasy Track this year…
Freddy himself.
Independent Horror Films screened every night starting 10-11:30pm, panels on the Top Ten Zombies-Ever, the ever looming presence of Atlanta’s premier haunted house Netherworld, Horror Icons, your favorite horror TV shows & movies, and let’s not forget the guests…
