Alright, guys. I need some help here. You all know how much I love my horror– movies, video games, TV shows… And this year I have the opportunity to go to Horrorcon in Louisville this summer with one of my buddies that I haven’t seen since high school.
And all sorts of awesome people associated with horror and sci-fi are slated to be there. From The Walking Dead, Michael Rooker (Merle Dixon) and possibly Norman Reedus (who I’ve been panting over ever since I saw Boondock Saints in college.) Gillian Anderson (Dana Sculley from The X-Files) and Adrian Paul (Duncan MacLeod on The Highlander.) Stan Lee. Stan- fuckin’-Lee, people!
Stan Lee of Marvel
Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead, Boondock Saints, Blade 2, Sand...and a bunch of other crap.
I doubt I’ll be able to afford the Stan Lee meet and greet, but I think I ought to dress to impress, don’t you? I mean, maybe I can follow Norman Reedus around and pick up his used chewing gum or something. Besides, it’s like the Renaissance Festival for me, in that I wouldn’t feel right not going in costume.
I plan to come up with a bangin’ costume, but I need some ideas, something fairly original. I mean, I love Resident Evil, but I don’t want to be walking around the convention center and see ten other Jill Valentines. I thought of Ellen Ripley, since the Alien movies are some of my favorites, but there’s really not much to being Ripley, unless I want to walk around in a white tank top and a pair of tiny panties. Nah…
So, I need a little help from my friends. The convention is in July, and even though it’s likely mostly indoors, I probably won’t want to wear anything too horribly hot. I like sexy, but don’t wanna look like a slag either. So… any original ideas or novel ways to give old ideas my own original flair would be appreciated.

Ugh, lost what I typed as I did more research. I’m a bit bored of it now, sorry. Cassie Hack, or Lightning from FF. Cassie has both gore and awesome, but Lightning is classier.
This from someone who dressed as Dawn one year. Yes, yes I did. And shouldn’t have.
I’d feel like a cheater dressing as a FF character, cuz I’ve never played….
It’s tough for women who don’t/can’t dress like the fantasies all around. I’d go with my most awesome, scary clothes and make a visit to a costume shop for good quality theatrical makeup & blood. Spend the effort on making up your own weapon (one that can’t be taken away from you by security as being dangerous) and call yourself your blog name! You probably will get 1 in 10 who actually says, “who?” Instead of, “oh, yeah, love that!”
I AM the ALIENREDQUEEN! 😀
Exactly! Make your own niche 🙂
I have to send you a pic of MY boots. I don’t want to take a pic off the net.
Go as a zombie and chase Norman!
Hahhah! I’ll bite him right on the ass!
Kinky. 😉
