Crypticon 2010 was a blast. The weekend flew by and, the same as last year, there was more good programming going on than two people could possibly cover. We did our best though and now we have the results.

We have interviews with many of the media guests from the convention including Heather Langenkamp, Felissa Rose, Doug Jones and Ernie Hudson, we have interviews with local luminaries like “Bonehand” Steve from the Bonebat Show podcast, Julie Hoverson, creator and producer of the audio drama 19 Nocturne Boulevard, Dread Central and Fangoria writer Sean “The Butcher” Smithson and many more.

The show is very long this week. We recommend you break it up a little and stretch it out over the next two weeks to make up for the fact that we will not be putting out another episode until July 15. We will be continuing to update the website with news and reveiws, maintaining the event calendar and there MAY even be some Crypticon swag given away so keep checking back!

  • June 27, 2010 11am Downtown Seattle on 4th between Columbia and Cherry – Zombie Pride Parade. Both Seattle Pride and the Seattle Goths are sympathetic to the zombie cause and have asked all Seattle zombies to join the Pride Parade this year! Zombies willing to dress up and have a blast are encouraged to show up and march in the parade. Looking for peace signs like “Zombies are People too!” “DON’T HATE! DETERIORATE!” “ZOMBIE is the new Black” “I ♥ my gay undead son” “wish this march happened when I was alive and I would have Come OUT” “BRAINS!” “ALL WE WANT IS BRAINS!” Please NO WEAPONS, NOTHING that would imply violence or hate (you can be dead and rotting but you can’t be a hater), NO BUSINESS SIGNS OR LOGOS, we are here to support the pride parade and not insult it.
