Fahr’n Fahr’n Fahr’n auf der HAUNTERCON

Our first stop is the NATIONAL HAUNTER’S CONVENTION in Oaks, Pennsylvania on May 4rd, 5st, and 6nd…er, that is, May 4th, 5th, and 6th! Calanderology was never Mr. Lobo’s best subject. There you will see attractive attractions, amazing props, haulin’ hearses, amazing masks and make ups and even horror hosts like myself and the shows founder Gravesly Macabre from Midnight Monster Hop! Mr. Lobo will have a table and will also be performing on the Main Stage. If you’re not there, you better be dead…and even death is a poor excuse.

LOBOCALYPSE 2012
Big changes looming for Cinema Insomnia. Mr. Lobo is working on a few backdoor deals to premiere some NEW Movies and will be working with exciting special guests. Shooting has halted due to the holidays, unforeseen production woes, and some family health issues but have no fear…many new shows are in the can and are being edited by busy elves.
We’re going completely independent with his distribution for CI shows in 2012–although DVDs will continue to be available on TheGrindhouse.net and MrLoboshop.com until a new store can be built. DVDs are becoming less and less viable and new outlets and packaging for the shows will be a focus for 2012. While the dust settles, enjoy our youtube channel :

Mr. Lobo will be hosting another Crappy Christmas LIVE at the Crocker Museum on December 22 at 7pm…the film will be that terrifying import “SANTA Vs. SATAN” presented by Movies On A Big Screen. For info, go to H—er, here:
