Kick Ass mustang at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim



Greeting us as we entered the exhibit floor was the mustang from Kick Ass. The car looks awesome and we could only wish that we could take it for a spin.

Be sure to check out Kick Ass in theaters now and watch the bad guys get their assess handed to them by some regular people who decide that being a superhero is more about kicking ass than anything else.



Bill Moseley at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim



Actor who starred in Rob Zombie's "Haunted World of El Superbeasto", "Devil's Rejects", "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Halloween". He also played Johnnie in 1990 remake of "Night of the Living Dead".

He is currently filming "Night of the Living Dead: Origins". We are looking forward to this film... zombies in 3D.

Bill became famous after his role in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" as Chop Top.



Back to the Future car at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim



Back to the Future was a fun time travel movie that spawned 2 sequels and has legions of fans worldwide. Starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and this famous DeLorean, "Back to the Future" is still popular and is remembered fondly by most people who have seen it.



The presenters if the car offered photos of you sitting in the car for $20.



William Shatner at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim



William Shatner made a special appearance and if you were lucky enough to be in the limited line, you could pay for an autograph and a pic with "Captain Kirk". Mr Shatner arrived with a security detail and took his seat next to Brent Spiner (Data).

We took this shot from a distance because security had the area closed off to ensure that the people in line were able to get their signature and photo quickly and efficiently. Hats off to the crew for handling this event smoothly.

We spoke to a few people who had stood in the line and they were happy with the experience, although some complained about the $75 fee. (most of the other celebrities only charged $20-$30). Some fans brought their own collectibles to get signed while others purchased stock photos and got them signed.


Mad Max car at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim



Mad Max was released back in 1979 and starred Mel Gibson. This post-apocalyptic film takes a look at society breaking down and the ensuing chaos. That chaos included several car chases, featuring this Ford Falcon Interceptor.

It was pretty cool to see the car and brought back fond memories of our first experience with Mad Max, one of the films responsible for the expanding the post-apocalyptic genre.

Too bad test drives weren't available.

NYC Horror Film Fest to Join Wizard World Comic Con Tour



NEW YORK and ANAHEIM, Calif., March 15, 2010 - From Frankenstein to Halloween to Saw, horror films have been a staple for moviegoers for generations. Now, fans attending Wizard Comic Con events in 2010, beginning next month in Anaheim, Calif., can take part in The NYC Horror Film Festival's Killer Short Sudden Death Competition, in which short filmmakers will have their work viewed by a live audience and voted into the NYC Horror Film Festival program later this year. Comic Con audiences will have the opportunity to select one winner at each of six 2010 Wizard Conventions - Anaheim (April 16-18), Philadelphia (June 11-13), Chicago (August 19-22), Philadelphia (June 11-13), New England (Oct. 1-3), Big Apple (October 7-10) and New Jersey (Oct. 15-17) - that will become part of the 2010 NYC Horror Film NYC Festival program later this year.

The competition is part of the Horror Pavilion, to be featured at Comic Con shows beginning at Anaheim. Aspiring filmmakers are invited to submit their work for consideration at each show.

"The addition of the Film Competition to the Wizard Comic Con series gives attendees who love horror an early look at some new works from talented filmmakers, and the chance to choose which they like best," said Gareb Shamus, Wizard Entertainment CEO.
