Michael and Denise from the Dark Woods staff

Last weekend, Drive-In Horrorshow played at Dark Woods Con in Pikeville Kentucky.  The screening was great, and we won the award for Best Feature Film!

That's gonna hurt in the morning.

I met lots of creepy folks - from filmmakers to artists and everything in between.  The Pickled Brothers Side Show set the stage with some freakishly fun entertainment.

Halloween 2's Michael Myers (AKA Dick Warlock) helped out the Pickled Brothers, and showed why he is a master slasher.

Final Destination screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick shared his scary script with me.  He's laughing now, but he'll kill your later.

I ran into scream queen Tiffany Shepis, straight from promoting The Violent Kind at Sundance.

Looking for a portrait of your favorite horror heroes (and villains)?  Joel Robinson has it all, from Freddy to Zombie Spider Man.

If you need Zombie Rosie the Riveter, or perhaps The Big Dead Machine, Billy Tackett is your man.

Todd Burrows from ZP International introduced himself - and he brought a crispy companion.

Scott Roberts From TAPS Paramagazine gave me the inside scoop on ghosts, ghouls, and the paranormal.

The tattoo needles buzzed all weekend long, courtesy of Southern Steel Tattoos.

Imfernal Dreams filled my brain with the most wonderful nightmares.

Alistair Crowley, Edgar Allen Poe, Tim Burton - if you crave paintings of horror icons and other creepy things, Cypocryphy.com can take care of you.

Straight from the sanitarium, Vilebillies blessed the Drive-In Horrorshow booth with some sick and twisted music.

Dark Woods' Scary Staff (Heather Price, Cherokee Hall, and Chris Hall)

All in all, I had a ghoulishly good time.  The staff was fantastic, the fans were awesome, and I met so many ghoulishly great people.  Thanks to everyone at Dark Woods Con!
