That's right folks ....

"CRYPTICON" Is Tonight through Sunday.
Fri- Sun: 27- 29 Sep 2013 in Bloominton, MN. 55420
@ The Doubletree Inn

What is "CRYPTICON" you ask ? It's a Horror, Sci-Fi & Pop Culture Convention for people of all ages !!!

There are Guest Celebrities, from Films & Television.
For example this year (2013):
This Weekend:
Star Wars: Billy Dee Williams
Evil Dead 2: Ted Raimi
Dark Shadows: Kathryn Leigh Scott
Evil Dead: Betsy Baker, Ellen Sandweiss & Theresa Tilly
Friday The 13th: Derek Mears
Aliens: Dainel Kash

As well as other activities like:
Celebrity Autographs, Question & Answer Sessions, Costume Contest, Party Rooms, Movie Room (showing a film I am personally in "The Giant Spider"), Tattooing, Toy Dealers from all over, Roller Derby Gals, Local Talent: Artists, Actors etc.

Mr. Zero's has been a proud sponsor of "CRYPTICON" since 2010 (a year after we 1st opened in 2009) since we still sell, DVDs, VHS, Toy & Action Figures, LP, CD & Cassette Soundtracks, Vintage, Classic & Retro, & Video Games as well occasionally carry Photos, Comic Books, Cards, Posters & Shirts. This year we will have a Dealer Booth at this event.

The Convention has been in existence for almost 10 years. The 1st time I went was in 2008 my then girlfriend was a huge Horror fan, I didn't really know what to expect, I had been to many "Star Trek Conventions" I figured it was essentially the same thing, umm ... it's not. It is, yet it isn't because this convention has a more broad appeal, I would say the only convention better than this is "CONVERGENCE" in July, but since you missed that one, better check out this one !!!!!

Some of my favorite memories are: I met Sid Haig from "House of a 1000 Corpses" & Jeffery Combs from "Star Trek" made friends with some of the Northstar Roller Girls, the costume contest where 1 lady was a Nurse from "Silent Hill" & another trio was the "Human Centipede" & Met and had my photo taken with Heavy Metal Band "Mushroomhead" oh, the list goes on & on.
