NAUGATUCK — Pinhead’s coming to Naugatuck!
That’s in Connecticut if you’re reading or listening from outside the area.
The CT Horror Fest is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 14 at the Naugatuck Event Center, 6 Rubber Ave.
There will be horror celebrity autographs and photos, along with Q&A panels and a dealer’s room for all things horror-centric.
Press play to listen to an interview with Christine Bucci-Caprilozzi, the co-founder of the event, which is in its sixth year. She lives in the Seymour area.
In the interview Bucci-Caprilozzi gives an overview of the event, provides a glimpse behind the scenes, and talks about a number of events her crew at the Horror News Network (her horror movie/genre website) have planned at the Naugatuck Event Center in October.
Those October events — being billed as “Spooky October“ — include the world premiere of “Halloween in a Box,” a documentary about old-school plastic kiddie Halloween costumes and the people who made them. The doc is directed by Rob Caprilozzi, Christine’s husband.
CT Horror Fest was previously held in Danbury and Waterbury. The Naugatuck Event Center will be its biggest venue yet.
Horror stars scheduled to appear at CT Horror Fest Sept. 14 include:
- Tobin Bell, the killer from the “Jigsaw” franchise
- Shawnee Smith, from the “Jigsaw” franchise and the well-regarded 1988 remake of “The Blob”
- Sean Patrick Flanery, the “Jigsaw” franchise and 1999’s “The Boondock Saints”
- Danielle Harris, whose genre work dates back to a starring role in “Halloween 4” when she was just 11 years old
- David Naughton, the star of “An American Werewolf in London” (click here for a Valley Indy interview with the Connecticut native)
- The “Cenobites” from the “Hellraiser” franchise, including Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley
