CHICAGO FANGO: DAVID ARQUETTE JOINS THE FUN!
Creation Entertainment’s presentation of Fangoria’s WEEKEND OF HORRORS set for February 23-25 in Chicago is going to be the Midwest horror event of the year! After the blood curdling success of the 2006 event, we’re staking our claim to 2007 with this new date! The 2006 version put Chicago Fangoria on the map in a huge way: the biggest and best horror media convention to hit the Midwest in years! We’re so appreciative for the giant crowds, major sponsor and vendor support and for all the nice feedback! Fans have made Chicago Fango a new tradition and we’re thrilled to be back in 2007 for more horrific fun!
Today, we are happy to announce that DAVID ARQUETTE (seen in SCREAM films, RIDING THE BULLET and EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS, and the director of THE TRIPPER) will be joining the amazing line-up of celebrities at the show.
