If you're going to be in the area of Worcester, Pa., then you might want to check out the annual music and horror convention Rock & Shock. "We are not like other boring horror conventions," claims their website. "We were the first to blend horror conventions with music. So while fans can meet their favorite horror film stars, directors, writers and bands during the day -- at night we have well-known national bands performing each night next door at The Palladium…That’s why this event is called Rock & Shock." Guests this year include Shawnee Smith (Saw I, II & III), Tony Todd (Candyman), and several members of Rob Zombie's Halloween cast, among others. For more information, visit www.rockandshock.com.
