Crypticon Seattle May 25th-27th

Crypticon is all about Horror, and they have a fun-filled, creepy-packed weekend just for all you horror fans. The creep factor will be elevated when zombies, zombie hunters, monsters, and psychopathic killers roam the halls of the Hilton Seattle Airport and Conference Center May 25th-27th. And those are just the spectators.

Crypticon offers something for everyone. Some of the weekend events include a film
festival, guest panels, make-up contest, writing contest, zombie tag (will you
be a survivor?), costume ball, and Biohazard parties.

Guests include:

Eloise J Knapp (writer, photographer, designer): Author of The Undead Situation, an apocalyptic story based in Seattle, where Knapp also resides. She is editor-in-chief of Z Magazine, writing a sequel to her first novel, and working toward a degree in graphic design.







Doug Bradley (actor): Best known for his portrayal of Pinhead in the Hellraiser series, his other credits include; Nightbreed (1990), Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes (2006), The Cottage (2008).








Richard Keil (actor): Probably best known for his role as the steeled-toothed villain, Jaws, in the James Bond Movies, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. He’s probably less known (but a few of my favorites) for roles as Malak in the 1976 TV series Land Of The Lost, Silver Streak, and Pale Rider. Keil departs from his stereotypical villian roles to play a big softy, Mr. Larson, in Happy Gilmore. More recently, he voiced the character Vlad in Tangled.








Dee Wallace (actor): My first Dee Wallace movie was The Howling. She is also well known for the frantic mom in E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. Other roles include Cujo, Critters, The Frighteners, Halloween (2007), and House of The Devil.
