I thought I would post about this since it’s a unique event that may appeal to some of my readers.
I’ll be honest I’ve never attended this event but I’d heard of some of the interesting events that take place and see some of the unique cars and costumes involved in this event. It’s not an event for everyone but it’s definitely different.
Draculacon III is taking place next weekend May 21, 2011 from 1 pm to midnight in Windber, PA. This event is perfect for the Dracula fans, ghost chasers, haunted house fans, and more. Each year they change it up and bring in authors, ghost hunters, occult experts, movie stars from creepy movies, speakers, and bands that fit the theme. Some people really get into this and you see creepy cars and costumes.
This years line up includes:
–Kyra Schon who was a child actress in the 1968 version of Night of the Living Dead. She’ll be speaking and hanging out at the Grand Midway Hotel in Windber (which is said to be haunted) and having a question and answer session after she speaks. Last year they had the actor who played the original Eddy Munster.
–Rosemary Ellen Guiley is an expert on the paranormal and supernatural. She has written many books on the subject and her books have been translated into 14 different languages.
–Adam Blai is a religious demonologist. He works with the Roman Catholic Church and will be speaking at this event.
There are also several other authors that will be present and speaking.
Also included in the line up is a bunch of musical groups that includes: Bridge City Bombshells, Cadillac Creeps, and more.
I found this website which has more details. You can also purchase tickets for the event on the site: http://www.thecemetery.net/Dcon/Draculacon2011.html
