I'll just start with that if you're a cult film fan, you don't want to miss the aptly named, Cult Classic Convention! From the moment you step through the doors, you're transported to a wacky world of nostalgia. The atmosphere is electric, with enthusiastic fans, talented artists, and engaging presenters all coming together to celebrate the horror genre and other weird films.
Cult Classic always features an incredible lineup of special guests, including movie actors and directors that share their experiences and insights in panels, Q&A sessions, and meet-and-greets, that give fans the chance to learn more about their favorite movies and characters. This year featured a decent collection of actors from the 1979 film, The Warriors. Other noteable guests included Donna Wilkes, Jeffrey Combs, and William Lustig.
In addition to the guests, the convention always includes a vendor hall with lots of variety, where you can browse a wide selection of merchandise, from collectibles and posters to t-shirts and DVDs. You'll find everything you need to satisfy your cravings and add to your cult classic collection.
But the highlight of the convention is definitely the atmosphere. The convention is filled with film enthusiasts of all ages, from all walks of life, coming together to share their love for the genre. There's a sense of community and camaraderie that you won't find anywhere else.
Overall, The Cult Classic Convention is a must-attend event for fans of campy films. Be sure you check out the convention when they slash their way into Baton Rouge in September 2023.
