I know I posted something earlier in the year about Chicago’s Flashback Weekend, taking place Aug. 2nd-4th in Rosemont, IL, where they’re having a reunion for John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), with almost all the remaining cast attending. They had announced 6 of the cast, Keith David, Richard Masur, David Clennon, Thomas G. Waites, Joel Polis, and Peter Maloney, but now have recently announced Adrienne Barbeau. Sure, she may not physically appear in the film, remember that she did provide the voice for the computer chess game!
They had also announced a huge reunion for the cult film The Warriors (1979), with Michael Beck, James Remar, Dorsey Wright, Brian Tyler, David Harris, Terry Michos, and Thomas G. Waites doing double duty.
But the Flashback team hasn’t stopped there, but have continued to add some amazing guests, with more reunions. They had announced Eli Roth before, but now have added 4 cast members from Cabin Fever (2002): Cerina Vincent, Jordan Ladd, Joey Kern, and James Debello!
If you’re a fan of the Halloween series, they have 7 guests from there, including Nick Castle, James Jude Courtney, Rohan Campbell, Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin, Nancy Stephens, and Alan Howarth.
And now, they just announced Don Coscarelli from Phantasm fame, not to mention Bubba Ho-Tep and John Dies at the End!, Of course, there’s some guy name Sam Raimi, who directed a few horror films early in his career…as well as his brothers Ted Raimi and Ivan Raimi will be joining the fun. If you’re a fan of the remake of Evil Dead (2013), actress Jane Levy will be there too. And if you’re a fan of the Tremors film series, not to mention a ton of other work, actor Michael Gross will be attending the show too!
Throw in Devon Sawa, Tony Todd, Quinn Lord, and even Svengoolie, you have one hell of a weekend going for you. And that’s not even counting all the amazing vendors (including us), the Q&As running throughout the weekend, costume contest, and much more.
