By far the biggest thing to happen to the Atlanta horror
scene, and definitely to SOC, in 2012 was the coming of Days of the Dead. Atlanta finally got its own horror
convention, and it was one hell of a party.
If you weren’t there, then you missed a legendary weekend. Not to worry though, because like all the
horror greats…IT’S BAAAAACK! Days of
the Dead Atlanta 2 will be taking place February 1-3. This year it’s at the Atlanta Sheraton Downtown Hotel. Yes, Days of the Dead migrated into the
belly of the beast this year, and the Sheraton finally gets to host a kick ass
convention. The guest list is
absolutely sick, and if all of the DOTD cons from last year are any indication,
Adolfo and the gang have an amazing time and some killer surprises in store for
the fear faithful. Then there’s the
revelry and debauchery that ensues when a bunch of drunken horror nuts get
together, but the less said about that in print the better. Trust me, it’s something you just have to
experience. Look at this list of
your favorite horror icons that will be on hand to sign your autographs, take
pictures with you, and make you the envy of all of your fanboy friends…

I would LOVE to meet Tony Todd. I would probably ask him how it felt to have all those bees on him. Because come on, he's a bad ass for doing that!

BLT: He wasn't expectin' the unexpected; but it sure as fuck expected him.

Can't wait! this'll be my second year at the ATL event!
It would have to be Sid Haig. The question would be What was it like working with Lon Chaney Jr. On Spider Baby.
Brad@picking-brains.com
I'd love to meet Tony Todd! I'd ask him about his role in the Candyman with all those bees! and what he thought about the Final Destination films.
shinyhubbcap@gmail.com
I wanna cum inside your mom 23. YES. you know who I want to meet, my secret stalked boyfriend, Kane Hodder. I would ask him if he would love me forever, or at least a few hours. And about Hatchet 3. Nicolergould@gmail.com
It was hard to decide which of Ms. Allen's movies I wanted to list. There were some GREAT titles. That was my favorite though.
I'd like to talk to Ginger Lynn Allen about the changes in her career, the changes in film vs video, and about her hobbie (as mine) photography.

jasonm.burton@yahoo.com
My question would be for Joshua Leonard. I'd want to know what he thinks of our modern horror films such as the Paranormal Activity and if he thinks Blair Witch Project played any part in societies need for documentary type horror.
I'd have to meet Tom Savini and ask him just how much special effects makeup and design he created over time doing all those productions and what kind of knowledge did he have of the field going into it..... and a whole lot more lol.

I'm most excited about meeting the whole rotld cast.
I must go to this, life long horror fanatic who detests wading through all that Babylon 5 junk to get to the horror goodies at the Dragon Con! I want to go where the horror is all concentrated in to one awesome space! ROTLD! CANDYMAN! Does my cold dead heart good to know we finally have a horror con of our very own! zombeak@gmail.com
linkinpark36@yahoo.com
I would have to ask Sid Haig if he truly likes Tutti Fucking Fruity Ice Cream. XD
martin.barry@yahoo.com
There are too many awesome people on the guest list to narrow this down. I have questions for all of them as well.
I want to give PJ Soles a hug... again :)
ryan54038@gmail.com
Danny Trejo - What research did he do to play the major fucking asshole rapist in Con Air (I know that's not a horror movie, but that is definitely a villainous role)
OR
Butch Patrick - What made him want to do the Munsters?? (which I absolutely loved watching!!)
And
I would just run away from Sid Haig and Tony Todd ;)
markschemanske2@hotmail.com
Met many of them last year, but I'd like to spend more time with Linnea Quigley and ask her about her work with animals. Also, I have GOT to find out what Butch Patrick thought about that mercifully aborted show Mockingbird Lane. Eddie Munster was such a whiny little putz in it! You didn't specify that we should confine ourselves to guests who'd be attending the con, but the person I'd really like to meet is Linda Blair. I'd ask her about how Friedkin treated her on set as opposed to how he treated everyone else, and of course, also about her work with animals. I suppose it's too much to ask to meet Rob Zombie and Sheri Moon Zombie, but a boy can dream, can't he? I'd ask them if they'd just adopt me.

I'd ask Danny Trejo what it was like being a head riding on a turtle in Breaking Bad...

I'd love to meet Bill Moseley, and would ask him about his favorite experience working on TCM2.
jmd_1978@yahoo.com
I'm most stoked about meeting Danny Trejo. I'd like to ask what it was like to work with Will Ferrell on Anchorman!
Definitely want to meet Danny Trejo, in the hopes that some of his Bad ass-ness will rub off on ME!
creaturefeatures@live.com
RealQueenofHorror@gmail.com
It would be between Tony Todd & Linnea Quigley...I'd probably be too star struck to ask anything other than for a hug!
What an awesome giveaway! Whoever wins congrats & rock on! ^__^

Danny Trejo
Q: what is your next project and what sets it apart from the rest of your work...
I would like to meet Kane Hodder and I'd ask him to say "No" when my girlfriend Nicole Gould asks to have sex with him
jtkhulk@comcast.net
I would first like to give a big , sloppy, life changing smootch to the Son, of Celuilod. Then I would find the great PJ Soles. I would use my mad psychological skills and say "totally" a bunch of times. She would then fall under my subcontious spell and say "Totally" back to me. To hear the amazing PJ say "Totally" in conversation to me would make my existence worth while. I could then die knowing I have had a"Totally" rocking life! Then I would thank the Son of Celluliod with a shot of Jameson. "Totally."
I am cheecha1@aol.com
I'm going regardless, but I'd like to throw my hat in as well.
whymistery@gmail.com
... Sorry, got carried away.
I'd like to me Danny Trejo and ask about his future voice acting jobs.
We know you wanna give her more than that Martin ...lol
We will be there again this year. wish we could bring the hearses again.
I wanna meet Ace Frehley. I would probably ask him how did he record Hide Your Heart without Gene Simmons suing his pants off .

I am super excited to meet John Philbin! LOVE him!
Forgot to list a question, so here is a replacement comment:)
melodymccraney@yahoo.com
I am so excited to meet John Philbin! LOve him!
I would ask him if he would take a picture with me:)
Thats about all I could say since I am sure I will be googly-eyed the whole time.
Most of these guys, I'd have to fight myself not to just clam up and squee at them like an idiot. If I could only interact with one, though, it would be Tony Todd. Candyman was MY horror flick when I was younger and the theme is still a ringtone on my phone. I'd wanna know about the road to Candyman for him, how he got the role, what worked in his favor, etc.
majishun144@gmail.com
P.S. Love to all the spawn, see you guys at DOTD!
kfleet1@cox.net
I've never been to DOTD and this would be a great time to experience it.
Fully Support SOC and would love to hang out and rub elbows with some horror fiends. Thanks for all the your hysterical,brutally honest and amazing reviews. Long Live Son of Celluloid!!!

I would love to meet Thom Mathews and talk Friday the 13th. I would love to know if he was ever offered to reprise his role as Tommy Jarvis!

My boyfriend and I went VIP last year for our four year anniversary and got a poster signed by Bill Moseley and Sid Haig. We were so excited to see the lineup this year but due to no extra funds, we couldn't afford tickets this year. Would LOVE to get the rest of the autographs from the cast members of House of 1000 Corpses. I'd also like to ask Danny Trejo what it feels like to be the most badass action star, ever. Also, Tony Todd, so I can hear him say, "Candyman."
PoisonMemoir@gmail.com
(Megz Arnow on Fbook to show I liked both pages)
Tom Savini. I admire his effects work and would most like to ask how he got started and what the favorite thing he has worked on effects wise is. IT would be a fantastic addition in to my blog.
gustoshere@gmail.com
Opening day is on my birthday!!!
PJ Soles!!!! She has been a crush since first seeing "Rock N Roll Highschool" The question I'd like to ask is how working with The Ramones effected her career!
I am uber excited about this con! So many excellent guests!! I don't know who I'm more excited to see!!
sinnamonnsugar@yahoo.com
claybyrom@live.com
Definitely Danny Trejo! If I were going to ask him anything it would probably be to know what his favorite film or show has been to work on out of his massive resume or how it was to have a love scene with Maggie Gyllenhaal on Sherry Baby.
I would like to meet Butch Patrick and ask him how it felt to be Eddy Munster.
gabeholder@comcast.net
I would say either Dick Miller and Danny Trejo. id ask Mr. Miller about working with Joe Dante and working with Hayley Mills in Amazing Stories and also mr Trejo about working with Quenten Tarrentino and any stories he may have.
mrzebra45@yahoo.com
I would love to meet Linnea Quigley!! I don't have a question I would just tell her that I LOVE "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama" and thank her for all the great movies!!!
subversive.sophist@gmail.com
The Blair Witch group for sure!! I want to do know how did they make it back? I was pregnant and living in the middle of nowhere watching the movie completely freaked me out.
aprilmcglamery@charter.net
I am most excited about meeting Ace Frehley. I would ask what his favorite guitar solo from his KISS days were.
misterjingles2011@yahoo.com
Can't wait to meet Brian O'Halloran. I know he's not technically "horror" but I love him in the Clerks movies. I'd ask him what crazy stuff Jason Mewes did.
sylvesterthecat2013@yahoo.com
James Wheeler
jwheeler485@gmail.com

Gunnar Hansen. I would ask what he thinks of all the remakes of the movie he helped make a classic.
halestormrocks99@yahoo.com

I'd like to meet Dick Miller and ask him what the Gremlins were like!

dixiegrrl1@yahoo.com
