The minds behind
Astronomicon, the Detroit area’s newest pop culture convention, have revealed a new documentary, entitled
Astronomicon The Making Of: A Pop Culture Convention, available now via
Amazon Prime.
Astronomicon The Making Of: A Pop Culture Convention takes viewers behind the scenes to experience what goes into the production and end result of a convention. Through incredible convention video footage and interviews with organizers Twiztid, the hard-working Astronomiconstaff, guests and fans, viewers will get a feel for the Astronomicon experience and learn why its dedicated fanbase has made it Metro Detroit’s fastest-growing convention.
“We’re here because of them,” beloved actor Sid Haig says of his longtime friends in Twiztid in the documentary.
“Astronomicon rocks!” says Pro skateboarder and reality star Bam Margera.
Now entering its third year, Astronomicon will return to the Wyndham Garden in Sterling Heights, just outside of Detroit, the weekend of February 7-9, 2020.
“As far as we can remember, we’ve always loved conventions,” says everyone’s favorite demented duo and Astronomicon organizers Twiztid. “It’s in our DNA, it’s who we are as people. We would go together as kids all the time. This is something we’ve talked about doing all of our lives and to be in our third year of Astronomicon is a great feeling.”
