First Virtual Horror Convention PHANTASM-CON 2020 to Take Place in May  Image

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!
  • AND Autograph "Tables" and CHAT ROOMS where autographed celebrity photos and posters will be available through various online stores or to a designated stores and sites.
  • Any ART room for Phan AND Pro work for display or sale.
  • PLUS Contest, Prizes, Giveaways, SWAG and more.
  • What's a convention without a Food Court? Links to DELIVERY food and drinks sponsors!
