Been recovering from the
FanExpo frenzy and taking care of lots of MM tasks, but finally getting around to posting this. Thanks to all those who stopped by the Midnight Madness booth over the weekend at the
FanExpo/
Festival of Fear. We were able to pass out over 2000 of our fancy new promo brochure,
Deadgirl postcards and meet with many fans of the series. The most useful task we accomplished at the booth was demystifying the TIFF experience for many Toronto residents who had never been thinking that all screenings were sold out weeks in advance and that you had to "know someone who knows someone to get a ticket." Hogwash! And of course, Midnight Madness is the easiest way to experience the Festival. But why am I telling you? If you are reading this blog, I am sure you know this already!
We were running trailers for the line-ups and the biggest hits were and
JCVD Chocolate Every time the ass-kicking trailer for
Chocolate ran, a group would gather around the monitor and gawk at the action. And by chance,
Robert Hall passed by ? co-producer and the guy who designed all the creatures for JT Petty's
The Burrowers as well as doing make-up for
Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
Angel, and
Superbad! Fancy that! Here are a bunch of pics from the weekend.
