Per My Brother:
As ScareFest 2012 opened to the public, there was great pomp and circumstance. Members of the Lexington, KY Chamber of Commerce made a brief appearance, then an incredibly detailed Jason of Friday the 13th cut the ceremonial ribbon… with his machete! Natch!
Afterward, members of the media got a quick photo-op of some of the attending celebrities. Instead of having a Red Carpet gala, this was the Black Carpet introduction of some of the biggest names in the horror and paranormal genres!
Some of the celebrities include:
– Victor Miller – screenwriter for the original Friday the 13th (and creator of Jason Voorhees and his mother)
– Michael Berryman – actor in The Hills Have Eyes, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Crow, The X-Files, Star Trek: The Next Generation
