Seems like forever since our last stop on this year’s Discover the Horror World Tour. But next week, we’ll be heading to Columbus, Ohio for the annual Cinevent Classic Film Convention. This is taking place from Thursday, May 23rd, to Sunday, May 26th, at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown.

Hard to believe, but this show has been running for over 50 years. And unlike most shows, this is all about collecting and memorabilia. While there are a few guests, they are mainly authors and film historians, so there is no autograph lines drawing people from the dealer room. Just a good old fashioned collector’s show. While this isn’t a horror show, there is still plenty enough to keep me interested and browsing, and I usually come home with a few good things.

This show has films playing all weekend long, starting at noon on Thursday and running until midnight. On Friday and Saturday, they are running from 9am until midnight. Most of the films are not in the horror genre, but this time out, I’m going to have the chance to catch the 1974 exploitation film Fangs (also know as Holy Wednesday) on Saturday night! Since we’re actually staying at the hotel this time, it will be no problem catching that one!

Another highlight for us coming to this show is hitting Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace! One of the best hot dog places we’ve been too, with a HUGE selection of dogs on the menu. You won’t find too many places like this. Just check out the menu on their site HERE.

So if you’re coming out to the show, or in the area, stop by and say hello! We’ll have our usual two tables with plenty of horror reference books, pillows, tote bags, and whatever else we can drag along with us! Hope to see you there!
