For Chicago horror lovers, Flashback Weekend is often a summer
must. This convention has been around for a decade, and it delights in bringing some big names in horror to the Chicagoland area. This year's highlights for zombie lovers will be
Ken Foree of George Romero's
Dawn of the Dead. He also made a brief appearance in the 2004 version (you can check out my post on that
here). I've met Mr. Foree during past conventions and can attest that he's a very chill dude. Additionally, and this is their headliner, the great
John Carpenter will be present and signing autographs. If I have to list some of his movies for you, you're likely on the wrong blog, but my personal favorite (and I know it's not his best...but still) is
Ghosts of Mars. I guess you could sort of say that's an "infected" movie.
There are plenty of other horror and zombie themed guest making an appearance at Flashback this year, so check out the convention's webpage
here. Hopefully I'll see you there this summer! The convention will be held at the Crown Plaza in Rosemont on August 10th-12th. I'll post more information as it comes through.
