The annual film festival and convention “Horror Hotel”, based out of Hudson, Ohio, took place again in June of 2016 and I was happy to attend as part of my co-hosting duties with Saturday Fright Theater (formerly the Phil & Erik Show). Along with Saturday Fright Theater creator Erik William, I attended the Horror Hotel weekend, where we screened films, perused merchandise, and met lots of film-makers, screenplay writers, and even an award-winning composer!

Our first interview of the weekend was with eMpTy-Light-Pack Productions, who participated in the 48 hour project in Cleveland. Erik & I got the inside scoop on their experience with the project, and some fun stories on how their production company was formed & named.Here is Erik & I with the eMpTy-Light-Pack group:

In addition to completing many interviews, my favorite part of the convention was wearing fun horror-themed outfits, as its not often you can get away with wearing a witch costume in June!

I also was fortunate enough to be included in the Scream Queen competition, where each contestant was asked a series of questions before performing their best version of a horror movie star scream. While I did not win the competition, it was so much fun to participate, and I am excited to share the footage with you when it becomes available. In the meantime, here are some photos from the Scream Queen competition event:

Saturday Fright Theater will be posting interviews on their YouTube channel & incorporate them into their upcoming horror hosting episodes!
