METRMAG Spotlight On: 

"SILVER SCREAM CON RETURNING TO NORTH SHORE FOR A SEQUEL"

SILVER SCREAM CON, the horror convention that brought 5,000 horror movie fans to Boston’s North Shore in its debut last summer, will be back September 8th-10th, 2023 at The DoubleTree Boston North Shore Hotel in Danvers, MA. 

"After the overwhelming success of last year's inaugural SILVER SCREAM CON, like all good horror flicks, we had to do a sequel,” says convention curator and Ice Nine Kills (INK) front man Spencer Charnas, “This year's lineup sees us joining forces once again with some of my all-time favorite horror actors, directors, make-up FX artists and stuntman, from what I consider to be the golden age of the silver screen.” 

Stars coming to SILVER SCREAM CON 2023 to chop it up with movie lovers, casual fans, and INK’s beloved fans (aka psychos) include original "Candyman," Tony Todd, Skeet Ulrich (the "Scream" franchise, "The Craft"), "Halloween 3" director Tommy Lee Wallace and cast member Tom Atkins, Nadia Teichmann ("The Silver Scream"), and official convention host, Sirius XM’s star DJ Jose Mangin. 

Legendary make-up FX guru Tom Savini ("Friday the 13th," "Dawn Of The Dead," "Creepshow") will be in attendance, along with masked villains C.J. Graham ("Jason" from "Friday The 13th VI: Jason Lives"), Tom Morga ("Jason" from "Friday The 13th V: A New Beginning"), Don Shanks ("Halloween 5" "Michael Myers"), and Dick Warlock ("Michael Myers" from "Halloween II"). 

The deceased title character himself, Terry Kiser from "Weekend at Bernie’s," "Chucky’s" friend "Andy," Alex Vincent from "Child’s Play 1" and "Child's Play 2," and Academy Award-winning make-up FX artist Christopher Nelson ("Halloween (2018)," "Suicide Squad") will also make appearances.   

Additional SILVER SCREAM CON stars include the "Terrifer" series’ Jenna Kanell and Catherine Corcoran ("Terrifer" and "Terrifer 2"), and  Leah Voysey ("Terrifer 2"), as well as the stars of the infamous Santa slasher, "Silent Night, the Deadly Night" series, Robert Brian Wilson and Eric Freeman. 

Joining them will be James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca, hosts of the "Dead Meat" YouTube Channel.   

SILVER SCREAM CON 2023 will also welcome iconic movie critic and genre aficionado Joe Bob Briggs (TNT’s "MonsterVision," "Casino," "Last Drive-In") and Darcy The Mailgirl (co-hosts of "Joe Bob’s Drive-In Theater"), Scout Taylor Compton ("Laurie Strode" in  "Halloween"), and Christine Elise ("Kyle" from the "Child’s Play" franchise).

“The SILVER SCREAM CON brought horror fanatics and INK fans from all over the world together to celebrate their love of on-screen slaughter,” Spencer noted. “This is the chance for our loyal psychos to not only interact with the band, but to meet the stars of the very films that our music pays tribute to.”   

This extreme weekend includes exclusive photo ops, celebrity signings, costume contests, scary-oke and discussion panels hosted by culture journalist Ryan J. Downey.   

Ice Nine Kills headlines a live show Saturday, September 9, at Lynn Memorial Auditorium in Lynn, featuring INSPIRIT and The Funeral Portrait. 

INK will return to New England as part of Metallica’s M72 World Tour, which hits Gillette Stadium in 2024. 

SILVER SCREAM CON takes place September 8th-10th, 2023 at the DoubleTree North Shore in Danvers, MA
