Phoenix FearCon XI
Horror Film Festival
Thanks to all who were able to handle our quick pivot to a largely “virtual” event!
Despite the late change, we still had two hundred amazing folk show up at Sun Studio on Saturday 16th October for a fabulous evening of entertainment. The Agents of Lust (below) got things under way, with their inimitable style, and then Aurelio Voltaire (above) took the stage, not for the first time at FearCon. He kept the audience thoroughly entertained – seriously, we could hear the crowd singing along from the other end of the building! – for a solid hour and half, and hung around afterward until he had spoken to every single person who stayed. The man is a total legend.
We want to send our special appreciation to all those who helped with the event – either in real life or virtually. Those would include Mr. Voltaire, The Agents of Lust, Dineta and John, Jay Michaels, Mark Schwartz of Aries Designs, Gauthier Raad who did all the editing, Larry Witherspoon at the FearCON Network, chief minion Tammy, all the other volunteers, the staff at Sun Studios, and every film-maker who submitted their work. Without you all, it could not have been such an outstanding event.

As you should immediately recognize, these are inspired by and named after Reggie Bannister’s iconic Phantasm series. If we don’t hear from the winners again, we’ll know the Sentinel Spheres have been activated…
We will now be taking the usual post-event break from FearCon related activity. 🙂 It’s funny how going virtual doesn’t make our muscles hurt any less – or, quite possibly, to quote the great philosopher Roger Murtaugh, we are simply “too old for this shit”!
We want to say THANK YOU to our partners in crime at FearCon, who have been monumental in their support and assistance:
