Grey Matter Art's newest poster will drive you MAD, MAN!


Grey Matter Art will be at Chiller Theatre in Parsippany, NJ this weekend! If you attend, swing by their table to grab one of their new MADMAN posters! Limited to 60 copies (for $35 apiece), this kick-ass print features artwork by Nathan Thomas Milliner. You know you want Madman Marz hanging on your wall at home, so don't miss out on this!

Also,  there is a MADMAN Reunion at Chiller so you can totally have Producer Gary Sales and several cast members (including Madman Marz himself, Paul Ehlers) sign your poster! If you won't be able to attend Chiller Theatre, don't sweat it, a limited number of posters will be available on Grey Matter Art's website Thursday (Oct. 22nd) at 1:00 PM EST! They will cost an additional $20 if you buy them online, and if you want any autographs on it, add an additional $15 for each signature!

Without further ado, here's the kick-ass new MADMAN poster:



As an added bonus, Grey Matter Art is teaming up with Cavity Colors to put this design on 150 shirts! If you want one, order ASAP because there will NOT be a reprinting! Once they are gone; they are gone forever! Here's what the shirt looks like:

CLICK HERE to order it for $25.00! If you're one of the first fifty to buy one, you will get a cool 5-inch "Blood Axe" vinyl sticker absolutely free!

Also, to anyone attending Hudson Horror Show in December (as of my posting this, there are still a few tickets left!), Grey Matter Art will have a table there, and will be selling some of their beautiful posters! Even if you can't get a ticket, the vendors areas are still open to the public, so come on down to the Empire South Hills 8 on Saturday, December 12th and buy something to spruce up your man-cave / movie room!

Celebrate H.P. Lovecraft's 125th Birthday this August at NecronomiCon!


It seems like conventions are popping up everywhere these days, and here is yet another one. However, unlike many of the rest, this one has a really specific, and special purpose: To celebrate the birthday (and the literary works) of Howard Phillips Lovecraft!

In my best Richard Attenborough voice: "Welcome, to NecronomiCon Providence 2015!


From August 20th to the 23rd, join fellow Lovecraft fans at the Biltmore and Omni hotels in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, to celebrate the legendary author's 125th birthday!

About NecronomiCon 2015:
The countdown is on and passes are selling fast for NecronomiCon Providence 2015! With Lovecraft’s hometown of Providence as a backdrop, this four-day event will serve as a tribute to his influential writing, as well as the city’s celebrated culture and history. This year’s convention coincides with the 125th anniversary of Lovecraft’s birth in 1890, and organizers are busy coordinating citywide festivities to commemorate the grand occasion.

H.P. Lovecraft is often considered the father of supernatural horror fiction. Many authors and filmmakers, from Stephen King to Guillermo del Toro, point to Lovecraft as a primary inspiration for their own work. Although there are several Lovecraft events held around the world, only NecronomiCon Providence has the unique distinction of taking place in Lovecraft’s city. “Lovecraft was born here and lived most of his life here. Only visitors to Providence can experience firsthand the narrow streets and fabled architecture that shaped the author’s particular style of storytelling, a unique blend of cosmic horror and science fantasy known as weird fiction,” says Niels Hobbs, director of NecronomiCon.

NecronomiCon Providence 2015 is anticipated to be the largest gathering of H.P. Lovecraft devotees ever assembled, including prominent Lovecraft scholars, celebrated authors, filmmakers, and artists. The festivities officially commence on Lovecraft’s birthday, Thursday, August 20, kicking off four days of panel discussions, walking tours, academic talks, author readings, film screenings, art exhibits, Lovecraftian gaming, specialty merchants, a costume ball, concerts, and other happenings, some of which will be accessible to the general public.

To view the complete schedule and lineup of special guests, and to purchase convention passes via credit card or PayPal, go to necronomicon-providence.com.

Once again, the event kicks off on the weekend of August 20th - 23rd, so request those days off, get your ticket, and revel in the wonderfully bizarre world of HP Lovecraft!
