Flashback Weekend 2009

Well with Halloween only a week away or so, what better way to get into the mood than a full blown horror convention, and one of the best I might add. Flashback Weekend is upon us once again, and this one is well deserved for the people in the Chicago land area. With the people over at Ultimate Horror Con canceling their event (without notice as well), this one is sure to be even better and look at the guest lineup as well! Very Nice!

With that said, the good folks here at Horror Society will have a vendor table at the convention as well. So if you are at the con, stop by our table, pick up some free shit we got, answer some trivia questions for prizes, check out some jewlery by HorrorWife, and check out some of the great indie horror films and companies we will be representing… hell by a shirt too if you like!

Check out the info below and I will see you there!!
