This weekend May 12th and 13th at the CE Centre, at 4899 Uplands Drive in Ottawa, Ontario from Saturday at 10:30 am (unless you are a VIP then you get in at 9:30 you elite bastard…) till 7:00pm, Ottawa gets it’s FIRST Comiccon!!! Lot’s of stuff to do, and lot’s of GUESTS!!!
So let’s see, that’s Lou Ferrigno, John de Lancie, Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, Adam Baldwin, Jamie Bamber, Erin Gray, Jeremy Bulloch, Cassandra Peterson… aaaaaand oh yeah, WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER!!!!
What could we (as in Ottawahorror.com and Zombieinfo.com at booth 230-232 find us HERE) possibly add to make this show even more awesome …aside from the Zombieking and queen…and the host of Ottawahorror ‘Horrible Howard’ (I have no idea if that nickname will stick or not…it’s the first time I’ve used it) Ooooooohhhh I dunno, perhaps these guys?
Yeah, we get the Carnival Diablo performers to appear (ON SATURDAY ONLY) only 2 weeks before their 20th ANNIVERSARY SHOW and we have been informed that a block of tickets for that show WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE during Ottawa Comiccon to purchase at the booth… You’re welcome! We will also feature Scott McClelland’s art and a few more surprises at the booth BOTH days! If you have never experienced the Carnival Diablo show… I just have to say ‘What the fuck is wrong with you?’ GO …GET TICKETS… NOW! You will never see another show like this in your lifetime- and it is meant to be experienced live with friends, because no one will believe you otherwise…trust me.
If you can’t make the Comiccon (and why not?) then at least get your ass to the 20th anniversary show- click HERE to get tickets before it sells out… remember, the block at Comiccon is being HELD for that event- so there is no guarantee that there will be tickets after the Ottawa Comiccon is over, so hurry and get yours today!
Rumor has it that you MAY (read that as MAY, not for sure…) get a very small sample of the Carnival Diablo experience around 12:00pm and 4:00pm at the booth… we will see you there!
Got something a little special for you today, I was lucky enough to chat with the star of the SciFi show ‘Euereka’, Mr. Colin Ferguson this past weekend at the Wizard World Comic Con in Toronto, Ontario… so grab some headphones and listen in to our 2 part AUDIO INTERVIEW!
Yep…then we got interrupted, then like a clever Zombieking… I was trying to poke a little fun by calling one of his directorial efforts (Triassic Attack) ‘Jurassic Park: Part 27’ but he corrected me right away, so if you’re out there reading this Colin… I was just trying to rib you a bit, I meant no offense… thanks for soldiering on through this ridiculous interview… here is part 2!
Colin was exceptionally generous with his fans and time (and with me!)… I have to say I’ve met a lot of celebs but not one as accessible and cordial as Colin… you are a class act sir, I am wiser for having met you… now, look at some of the fun he had at the show!
Colin and a ‘Friend’
Colin joins the Canadian chapter of the Ghostbusters… (Yeah, I never knew there was one either…)
and finally, when the show is all over… you have to pack up and head home…
My thanks for Colin’s time and patience… be sure to catch Eureka in it’s final season, and keep an eye out for his future projects too!
I am ‘the Zombieking’…and this topic is now DEAD to me!
This just in, Ottawa Comiccon will be the place to see one of North Americas longest running Sideshows, CARNIVAL DIABLO!
THIS YEAR is the 20th anniversary of the show, back on April 1st 1992, the bowels of HELL split wide open and a NEW form of Sideshow was spawned! Cutting-edge, theatrical, and Victorian, Carnival Diablo changed the face of Sideshow in the 21st Century.
Carnival Diablo’s mission has always been to put the “Show” back in “Sideshow.” International acclaim, awards, accolades in papers, appearances in movies and television specials have proven time and time again that Carnival Diablo is one of the most spectacular and unique sideshows of all time!
This appearance will be the ONLY chance to see them before the 20th anniversary extravaganza in Ottawa on the 26th of May …and a small block of tickets WILL be made available at the Ottawa Comiccon! You’ll see a small demonstration during the convention by the troupe, as well as many more surprises, but you’ll have to come to the Ottawa Comiccon to find out what they are!
Carnival Diablo will be appearing on SATURDAY MAY 12th ONLY at the Zombieinfo.com/Ottawahorror.com booth, and will feature Nikolai Diablo, Ophelia and Colossus! Be sure to drop by and say hello! IF YOU DARE!!!
Synopsis: A man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates.
Zombieking’s Synopsis: Newer special effects, but pretty much Escape from New York… but in SPACE! (but I’ll likely still see it)
Just an FYI, thanks to everyone who messaged, mailed and called in… the passes for ‘the Raid: Redemption’ are all gone, but it looks like an awesome movie! Thanks again to Alliance Films for the passes!
