Since I see this convention as a "live" version of Monsters from the Vault, I decided to ask our writers if they would like to do a live lecture at the show, or as I like to call them "Live Articles." The writers picked their subject matter and will be given a full hour for their presentation (part lecture, part Q & A). The following Monsters from the Vault contributors will be doing Live Articles at the show (subject matter of the Live Article follows their name):

FRANK DELLO STRITTO

MONSTERS NEED PASSPORTS TOO: Thanks to the internet, a wealth of new information about old stars is now available for the first time. Among the records now online are immigration records of anyone who travelled in and out of the USA in the early 20th century—that includes Karloff, Lugosi, Chaney, Lorre, James Whale and dozens of others. What did they declare at U. S. borders? Frank Dello Stritto gives a hardcopy tour of this virtual world, where you'll learn about Boris' women, Lon's fish, Merian Cooper's lost luggage, Arthur Conan Doyle's big mouth, Fay Wray's weight, Carl Laemmle's height and much more.

MORE LIVE ARTICLES COMING SOON!
