Monster Mania 7 - JigSaw - 02-18-2007
I went today (Saturday) and just had an incredible time! This was my first time ever going to a horror con, and it couldn\'t have been better.
First I thought it was odd because there was a HUGE line, four hour wait, to meet Tobin Bell. He was great. Seems like SAW really worked out for his career.
I actually met Hunter, aka White Faceman, first... Hunter kinda split right after he bought the Texan Thomas blank.
I met J. Larous (Troy from SAW) first. He was really nice, laid back kind of guy. He said he wanted to get in line for Sid Haig and Tobin Bell. :lol:
Leigh Whannel was my favorite person to meet. We (brandon, jon, me) brought some of our SAW props to get signed, and he was just over joyed and excited to see that. Must be a dream come true or something when your movie has this much of an impact. Well, he just started signing some of our stuff for free, and took pictures of us. I thought that was funny. He was a really nice guy, and seemed to be having a great time as well.
Shawnee Smith was really nice as well, and liked the Pig mask and Reverse Bear trap. Barry Flattman (Judge from SAW III) was cool and so was Noam Jenkins (Micheal, Venus Fly Trap guy, SAW II) was cool as well. Tobin was great. I got a picture signed by him, he was really nice and not an ass considering he had literally thousands of people to meet. I love the picture he signed too. It was a little bit rushed, but still cool. There was also a big display thing, with a couple shelves enclosed in glass. I loved seeing it. There was the Reverse Bear Trap,
I also met Kane Hodder, who was really nice and scary as hell, Warrington Gillet who seemed to need his fans more than they needed him. LOL I met some others as well, but the last was Gunnar Hansen, who was REALLY cool to us. He wore Brandon\'s Pretty Woman mask (picture above), and seemed to be a little excited when he saw Brandon in his costume. We had a great time, I got a picture signed by him as well.
Took a while, but they finally displayed the Billie puppet (SAW III) on a table. Looked pretty damn cool, but I thought it wasn\'t as good as the first puppet, and is in no way worth $20 just to take a picture of it... I snuck one anyways.
Lastly, I wore the screen used Venus Fly Trap from SAW II, it was an awesome experiance. Not so heavy as I thought. It was awesome, very realistic. I thought it was great, and awesome to wear something from the actual film!
I\'ll post some pictures later, and scans of my autographs (and possibly a video). I have to have them developed.
In conclusion, I had an amazing time. :teehee:
Monster Mania 7 - SICKNESS - 02-18-2007
I had an AMAZING time! I had so much fun meeting actors and seeing how nice they were. Here is my review:
Tom Savini (FX Artist)- a ton of people I have talked to say he is a dick...I thought he was one of the NICEST people there! We talked for a lil bit about progressing in make up fx, also, he had a TCM2 mask from the screen used mold that he painted and finished up, etc. It was awsome!
J. Larose (Troy "chain trap guy" from SAW 3)- Very nice guy! We talked about the fx in the trap, and a friend of mine fromt he FX lab that did the fx (on the fx lab he is NOMAD). He was a nice guy.
Shawnee Smith (Amanda from SAW, 2, 3)- SUCH a nice person! She had such a sweet voice. I was in awe in her presence! lol. Seriosly, she was sooo nice. Got her to sign my SAW pig mask. When I handed her it, she was like "Wow, it looks great!".
Kane Hodder (Jason Friday 7 through Jason X)- Was a really nice guy! Just talked for a sec, a quick hello. Took a picture of him chocking me, as he usually does.
Warrington Gillete (Jason Friday 2 unmasked)- Nice guy. Seemed kinda sad, because noone was really going to his table. Said hello and hung out for a bit, took a pic with him. I\'ll get pix up later. Had his BITN part 2 mask, looked cool. First time I saw it.
******Tobin Bell (JIGSAW!!!)- Tobin was AWSOME! Not what I expected. Was a 4 hour wait in line, but I had a friend hold my place while we went and did other stuff. Tobin was rushed because there were so many people in line, so they had to start getting through it. I wish we could have talked longer, got my pig mask signed.
Leigh Whannel (Adam in SAW, also the screenwriter)- NICE GUY!!!! Such a damn nice guy! He took a picture of me and my friends with our SAW stuff. Signed my pig mask for FREE! The person at his table managing the money gave him and I a dirty look though lol. He was my favorite guy there! Had an awsome time!
***Gunnar Hanson (bubba from TCM original)- SUCH A NICE GUY! Some guys were sayin hes an ass, that i\'d be dissapointed, but I loved him! He put on my friends pretty woman mask, and while he was putting it on, IT LOOKED AMAZING! Something about it on him made it look amazing. I always thought he was a short guy, HE WAS HUGE! Didnt know he was that tall!
Sid Haigs (Captain Spaulding, devils rejects and house of 1000 corpse) in the bathroom..... saw him walking towards it, and coincidently I had to go, so I followed him lol. Didnt really say hi, but was awsome! lol
--------------------------------------------------
SCREEN USED ITEMS WERE AWSOME! SAW 2 Venus Fly Trap, SAW 1 Billy Puppet, SAW 3 Reverse Bear Trap, buncha amazing stuff! Couldnt believe my eyes! Some kid was wearing the screen used SAW 2 robe.
---------------------------------------------------
Ben (Fright Rags)- Just stopped by quick to say hey. Sorry I couldnt stay longer man! Was kinda in a rush.
Hunter (m-yersman)- Dude, what was that? Thought we would hang out, you kinda just left after 2 minutes! lol
Some dude was dressed up as micha-el m-yers (Roy somethin from MM.net). Spotted his "killing machine" he was wearing, asked if thats what it was, he said yep. Came home today to find mine came in the mail! I love it!
Saw the rubies Jason 4 bust, looks GREAT in person! Wasnt expecting that! That is not something they ruined! Looks great. Great job Jon!
Overall, I had a GREAT TIME! Probably the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

Here are some pictures:
SAW 1 Billy Puppet (You had to pay to take pix, so I tried taking a quick pick while they were setting up to get away with it for free, came out too blurry):

That is not nearly close to all I did. Most of my pictures are on a disposable camera, have to scan the pix after I get the film developed...
