Famous Monsters of Filmland is proud to announce the official launch date for the historic Famous Monsters of Filmland Issue #251! The collectable magazine will preview at the official Famous Monsters Convention, held in Indianapolis, Indiana, July 9-11, 2010.

Thomas Jane (The Mist, The Punisher), as well as Derek Mears and additional cast members from this summer's 20th Century Fox release Predators, will be appearing live and in person. We are also thrilled to present a Night Of The Living Dead reunion, featuring eight original cast members, and a Nightmare on Elm Street series reunion with stars Heather Langenkamp and Mark Patton.

Horror legends Tom Savini, Bill Moseley, and Herschell Gordon Lewis will also be in attendance to celebrate this memorable FM launch. A complete guestlist can be found at www.famousmonstersconvention.com.

We're eager to meet the demand for the event, so to accomodate all our potential guests, Famous Monsters has secured additional convention floor space for this monstrous event.

Along with the special guests and screenings, Friday night's VIP Blood Red Pool Party and the Beauty Pageant sponsored by Girls and Corpses are just a few of the highlights for the weekend. The winner of the beauty pageant will receive a photo spread in an upcoming issue of both Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and Girls and Corpses magazine!

The Famous Monsters Convention will be held at the Wyndham Indianapolis West, located at 2544 Executive Drive, Indianapolis, IN. Ticket pricing, hotel accommodations, a complete guestlist, and a schedule of events are all available at www.famousmonstersconvention.com.
