Lexington’s
5th
annual ScareFest 2012 (http://scarefestcon.com/)
attracts the most diverse assortment of asylum escapees, fanged and
clawed critters, and were- (and wear) whatevers I’ve seen since I
last attended an Alice Cooper concert. Sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and
superhero genres and sub-genres commingled in a glorious display of
fur and color.
Chris
Sarandon (Fright Night,
The Princess Bride),
Dee Wallace (The Howling,
E. T.), and Denise
Crosby (Star Trek: The Next Generation,
Diagnosis Murder) were
there to meet everyone and sign autographs.
ScareFest
is a great place to get your chakra realigned, buy some fantasy art,
or sit in an electric chair. Gotta tell you, it was electrifying
(groan!).
Here’s
a small sampling of the artists/writers/movie studios/radio stations
that displayed their work. More power to them all.
Victor
Miller, Emmy-award winning writer of numerous soap operas, and the
writer of the first Friday
the 13th,
the best of the series. For those who haven’t seen it, there was
no hockey-mask wearing humongous drowned kid doing the killing.

Brett
Gray, Lexington-based artist extraordinaire, turns out
wonderfully-detailed #2 graphite pencil work of vampires, werewolves,
and Cthulhu-based creatures. Truly eerie and beautiful. See samples
of his work at http://www.brettgrayart.com
or contact him on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/BrettGrayArt.
Sun
House Films displayed props and talked about their online horror
movie. They also offer professional production services.

Great
time at ScareFest for everyone. If you’re scared, just pack some
garlic or a crucifix. ‘Cause next year, I’ll be wearing my dress
fangs.
