Why You Might Consider a Pilgrimage to Monsterpalooza

If you have never been to a horror convention, or are considering going to one, this is not one to miss, in my opinion (that being said, and being short on funds in Fairbanks, Alaska, I am going to have to miss it) for Clive Barker Fans.  We’ll be living vicariously through you!

Monsterpalooza is a convention that will be held at Pasadena Convention Center April 7-9, Pasadena CA.  There are some amazing things you can get there from the Real Clive Barker store, available for the first time, and many of them are exclusive to the convention.

At my insistent pestering, Christian over at Seraphim shared some of these with us.

For fans of The Books of the Art (and who isn’t) they have a coin replica of the shoal medallion.  There’s also a cool badge for the RealCliveBarker.com store, a skull patch, a Pinhead tote bag, hats, glassware, a jigsaw puzzle, exclusive prints, new posters and more!  See pictures.

Best of all, The new Hellraiser Anthology comic will be released for the first time, with sketches inside by Clive Barker, and an alternate cover.

Another cool thing is they will be debuting some horror pinhead makeup:

Clive co-designed with Cris Alex and Stephen Imhoff Jr the reimagining of this horror icon. See the makeup in the flesh! Sunday April 9th at MONSTERPALOOZA on the PPI Premiere Products Inc. / Skin Illustrator stage.
