About this episode
The episode discusses the evolution of horror conventions and focuses on two recent shows attended by the hosts.
Recently we sat down to discuss horror conventions and their evolution since we began going to them. We discuss changes to the landscape, good and bad and really focus in on two different shows we recently attended. Listeners, please note that we recorded this not even two weeks before the beloved Cinema Wasteland Convention announced they were sadly shutting down for good. So, as we gush about Cinema Wasteland during the episode, that’s why its finality is not mentioned. Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and our Blog. Thanks for listening!
