As a convention promoter I often have to be the bearer of bad news...but we always like to have good news that goes with it.

I guess you're wondering where that is going...well I have some bad news (or is it scary news when dealing with Horror guests) but then also some happy news, just like at the end of the movie J

Firstly the scary news...it is with much sadness that we have to announce that Heather Langenkamp, Thommy Hutson and Tony Todd can no longer make it to the event in May.

You may remember the main reason for postponing the show from last year was because Heather couldn't make it, we've decided to surge ahead this time regardless, one postponement is enough, and Robert is biting at the bit to get here.

We are working with all of them to still get them out here, I told them that they weren't getting out of it that easily.

This came in from Thommy and Heather...

Due to professional commitments, Heather Langenkamp and Thommy Hutson have regretfully informed us they will not be able to attend the show in May. Heather and Thommy were truly very excited to meet fans in Australia, but due to their professional schedules the dates were not able to work. Heather and Thommy are truly sorry and hope to rebook at a later date so they can still meet the great fans who attend Shock Horror!

Now for the happy ending everyone loves about a movie.

Heather put in some phone calls for us to her friends and we have a couple of them that have said yes to heading down under to hang with us. So joining us for Shock Horror: The Nightmare Returns are A Nightmare on Elm Street alumni LISA WILCOX ('Alice' in Elm St 4 & 5) and also KEN SAGOES (Kincaid in Elm St 3 & 4). Lisa also worked with Robert recently on his series Fear Clinic. Also, Ken was the first black actor to survive a major Horror film...so that's great that he has survived long enough to join us.

We're very excited about having these guys join us in May (as they were on our list for next year anyway).

Also, there is a possibility of more guests being added to the line up...so stay tuned!

We are pleased to be able to announce that BRONSON PELLETIER, 'Jared' from the Twilight series, will be joining Charlie Bewley at Twilight Encounter in Sydney on the 24th April 2012. This should be a great evening with two rising young stars. Tickets are on sale now.
