Kid Cadet GalaxyCon Preview SF13 E7

Tonight we venture a bit outside the horror norm as Wes and co-host Brandon Griffith welcome Kid Cadet, here to talk about GalaxyCon Louisville, a festival of science fiction, pop culture and more, happening Nov 22-24. Kid Cadet is a veteran of Radio Disney and counts panel moderator, ring announcer, and recording artist among her many hats.

Kid Cadet shares her valuable insights into GalaxyCon, how she became involved in the Con, her professional approach as a moderator, and the celebrities that she fan girls over. But what secrets does she hold from Radio Disney?

We also get our first celebrity announcement for Scarefest the 13th! No spoilers but it is definitely a “SWEET TREAT” for Scarefest and horror fans!

We also have a healthy serving of new content segments with The Week in Horror History, movie reviews from FakeShemp and Bone Head, CC Ann on the road, and Mutagen Nation. Plus, a viewing of Scarefest XII’s film festival entry THE BRABOON, the story of a man’s transformation after an experimental heart surgery.

Scarefest 2019 Post Mortum SF13 E1

Scarefest XII has come and gone and was it ever exciting! Tonight, Wes hosts co-owner, and horror icon in his own special way, Brandon Griffith. After an exhausting, but spectacular year, Brandon fills us in on the triumphs and inevitable speed bumps of putting together one of the premiere horror cons in the U.S. How can Scarefest NOT rock out? People got to throw axes with horror legends!

We learn that this year was the best attended Scarefest in the last 3 years with one of the richest film festivals in Scarefest history. Brandon also lays down the dates for next years’s 13th anniversary Scarefest as October 23-25, tying in nicely with Lexington’s bountiful Halloween celebrations. We hear what went over big and what may have gone a little sideways. Prepare yourself for the sheer terror of AOL era internet horror stories and the madness of coffee shops that weren’t open early in the day .

Wes also announces a big change as Scarefest Radio transitions into a new stage of evolution, Scarefest Television! There will new content, new hosts, and new Coke (okay, we made that last part up). Plus we wonder if Brandon ever straightened out his “keyboard is an accordion” dilemma.

Horror News SF12 E35

No cohost, no guest but plenty of bad jokes. This week Wes is solo and takes us on a walk through of what to expect at the Inner Light festival and throws in some horror news.

Aliens, the Pope Lick goat man, horror dating apps and famous cats are a part of the topics you’ll hear about this week as well as the awesome seminars and vendors the Inner Light festival will be offering. Think of this weeks episode as a sort of variety show staring the one and only Wes Forsythe.

Con Review: Vette City Con 2019

This week I’m doing something a little different: I am reviewing a horror convention.

Last weekend I went to Bowling Green Kentucky for my first visit to The Vette City Con. Vette City is small convention that caters to the horror and comicon crowds. It was nice to see horror take a front seat up against fantasy, pop culture, and sci-fi and the like.

They had a great selection of diverse vendors for the relatively small space they were in. We saw some of the most original artwork available anywhere mixed in with the usual fair of bobble heads and jewelry. Continue reading “Con Review: Vette City Con 2019”
