<—-Preparing to leave for Fango.

Hello world.

This blog is reporting all weekend from the 2008 Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in beautiful Secaucus, N.J.

First some BREAKING NEWS, courtesy of Glen Baisley, an indie horror writer/director from Light & Productions.

The Fango cons’ glory years were undoubtedly when in was held at The New Yorker in midtown Manhattan.

NEXT YEAR FANGO IS FINALLY RETURNING TO NYC, WITH A SHOW AT THE JAVITS CONVENTION CENTER.

It’ll be great to get away from this Jersey air, because not for nothing, Secaucus smells like rotten vegetables.

‘CELEBRITY’ SIGHTINGS:

In our first 10 minutes in the Crowne Plaza, we spotted Chris Jericho, Ken “Dawn of the Dead” Foree, Joe Zaso and Fangoria Managing Editor Michael Gingold.

I’m here with gore make-up artist Brian Spears of G&S Effects and Baisley.

It was awkward as first, as Spears and the Bais have been feuding all week over who should replace Tim Russert on “Meet the Press.”

In fact, they’re fighting right now.
