By: Chloe Rabinowitz Apr. 06, 2020
A nightmare in the form of a virus has hit our dimension and compromised the World of the Arts: film, theater, music, dance, art, as well as all conventions and expos. Gigi & Reggie Bannister choose to fight nightmare with nightmare. Utilizing the cult-classic and phenomenal franchise, Phantasm, they present Phantasm-Con 2020©! Produced by Production Magic Inc and Crestline Creative Arts Foundation (a nonprofit corp.).
PHANTASM-CON© 2020, through Crestline Creative Arts Foundation, is raising funds for Personal Protection Equipment for First Responders and Veterinarians during the COVID-19 Crisis.
PHANTASM-CON© 2020 (PHAN-CON© 2020) is the first VIRTUAL PHANTASM HORROR CONVENTION online with all the same things that you would find in any convention experience:
- A LIVE MAIN STAGE featuring Q&As and interviews (some conducted by the host of Terror TV's Terror Talk with Jay Michaels) with celebrity guests and fans.
- An Exhibit Hall where visitors can click-thru to popular online stores and sites for memorabilia and other collectibles.
- A Film Room filled with interactive watch parties where fans can hang with celebrities in real time during scheduled screenings on Friday and Saturday night!
