The Mutantville Players were on hand this weekend to witness John Carpenter accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award from the Fright Nigh Film Fest in Kentucky. The Master of Horror was honored for a lifetime of dedication to the horror genre as well as for creating such classic works as Halloween, In The Mouth of Madness, Christine, Escape From New York, Big Trouble In Little China, and most recently Cigarette Burns.
We took plenty of pictures and shot tons of interview footage of the event. We chatted with everyone from Jim Kelly to Larry Drake to Addy Miller to a certain man named John . . . Carpenter that is.
MVP would like to send out a big round of thanks to promoter Ken Daniels and Myra Daniels and their crew for putting on not just one – but TWO great shows this year with the Fright Night Film Fest and Fandom Fest. There were a lot of things that happened that were out of their control like the loss of air conditioning and shortage of tables at the convention center but they dealt with it with equanimity and made this past weekend the best con on the East coast so far for 2011!
Videos are forthcoming.

This past weekend (June 3 – 5th, 2011), ConCarolinas held it’s tenth annual convention in Charlotte. The featured guests included Harry Turtledove, Conor McCullagh, Brinke Stevens, Addy Miller of The Walking Dead and the cast & crew of Ghost Trek.
The Mutantville Players have attended ConCarolinas for the past six years in a row. Last year was our first time submitting one of our short films – Devil Comes Down – to the film festival. This year marked our first appearance as guests at the convention. Charlotte has been home to the Mutantville Mothership for years – and we were proud to attend a con on our native soil. We had plenty of friends come out to show support and built several new friendships along the way.
