For the Love of Horror, a horror movie convention by Monopoly Events, was a rip roaring success this year with cast members from Terrifier, Evil Dead and Halloween to name a few. See part 1, part 2 and part 3 of my writeup.
Something I left out of the previous blog posts covering: supplementing the Terrifier cast in attendance (Catherine Corcoran and Jenna Kanell were there for photo ops, autographs and a Terrifier panel), organisers also showed this Ice Nine Kills promo music video for their track The Art of Dying. There were kids at this event and it just seemed a bad decision to show this video, featuring mass murder on the big screen. Especially when it’s set at a music concert – something that has happened several times across the world in recent years (Bataclan, Manchester Arena, just down the road, and Vegas). Especially not when it involves murdering a pregnant woman while she gives birth.
My two pennies.
I’ve always been opposed to film censorship, something the UK has been a stickler about for most of my life, but not when kids are concerned.
Also there was no cinema room this time like there had been in previous years showing films from the stars in attendance.
Otherwise, it was and incredible movie convention and I’m hugely looking forward to next year’s.
