Horror movie conventions are one of the best places to be at if you are a die-hard fan. There's plenty to see, buy, and people to meet, both new and old friends, as well as celebrities. Horror conventions were a very important part of a lot of us horror fans "growing up" as we learned more and more about the genre, building our collections, or just meeting new people that have become lifelong friends, or even a wife! This is our first part in a series of episodes on conventions, so we're going to start out at the beginning for us, such as how they all started for us, and which ones did we go to, to the current shows that we still attend. These are the different conventions that we mention during this episode: Chiller Theatre, Cinema Wasteland, Cinevent, Crypticon, Famous Monsters, Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors, Fanex, Flashback Weekend, HorrorHound Weekend, Mid-Summer Scream, Monster Bash, Monsterpalooza, 25th Anniversary Night of the Living Dead Convention, Scarefest, Texas Frightmare
