Okay, it was only a matter of time before someone posted the news here, so why not have the Chicago girl do it? It's awesome to say that the showrunners at Flashback Weekend are bringing in the cast for a 35th Phantasm anniversary reunion. Don, Angus, Michael, Bill, Reg, and Kat have all been confirmed to attend. It's the second weekend of August - 8th-10th at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, IL. This is one event y'all should not pass up on. I regretted like hell that I had to miss the reunion in the past, and I will not miss this one. Already got my hotel room booked and everything! Check out the Flashback website HERE

If it's anything like 2008, it's gonna be a weekend to remember! Dustin can attest to that.
It's looking more and more like I will also be in attendance this year, so be on the lookout!

It's a nice little con. If you're there more than one day, my advice is to wait until there's little or no line for the celebrities. When I met George Romero for the 2nd time last year, I sat in line for about 45 min. No problem, but when I get up there with my original Dawn of the Dead theatrical poster, he says "they" told him not to write anything but his name (rather than the usual "Stay Scared!" and his name) because of moving the long line faster.

I'll definitely be going to this. Bringing a few friends along as well. I missed seeing Angus at Days of the Dead since he had to cancel, so I'm glad to get another chance.

Anyone know much a ticket to the con cost? If you do VIP, I believe it's around $200. Single day $30 and 3 day pass around $60? I skipped last year since I went to Vegas, so not sure if they increased the prices since the last time I went couple years ago.

Again, the prices may not be 100% correct, but I know those are close estimates from what I remember. At least you will get an idea of the pricing. I know I'll definitely be doing VIP. Already have my hotel room reserved as well.

I'd just like to say that I am crazy excited for next week's Flashback Weekend. I've got ample copies of my book, posters of the cover and character posters available for sale and am ready to meet my fellow phan brothers and sisters!!

Wish I could be there, that would be a blast, but I will see most of the gang at Son of Monsterpalooza in September. So all you Phans out there that are going to Flashback be sure to have awesome fun for those of us who can't make it, and please take lots of pictures to share here with everyone.

I'm pretty dang excited as well! Everything is set, and I'll be driving up to Chicago early Friday. It'll be nice to see Dustin again (we both went to Flashback '08) and to also meet other Phans! Word of warning, I'm crazy shy... so if I seem at all nervous, well, that's why.
Oh, I also got my hands on an original Phantasm soundtrack on vinyl... just in time to bring it to Flashback and get even MORE autographs!

Speaking of autographs. Anyone ever get the sphere box set signed? I worry that the signatures wouldn't hold up on that surface.

Reggie autographed my sphere from the UK boxed sphere set quite a few years ago and it still looks great. When Reg signed it, that was the only time it has been out of the box.
