The 20th Anniversary of the Summer of Horrorstm 1979- 1999

    We're terribly, terribly sorry. Much thought and effort of many, many people went into the planning and developing of the Summer of Horrorstm.   We can't even begin to tell you how bad we feel that we could not bring SOH to you.   "WHY?" You ask. We surveyed phans - the Phans wanted it. We lobbied dealers - the Dealers wanted it. We called the celebrities - the Celebrities wanted it. We contacted sponsors - the Sponsors wanted it. So what happened?   The planning of a reputable event takes about 9-12 months. There are deadlines to meet for both advertising and securing the locations. These require large deposits and fees well in advance of the show date. Even after mucho efforts on our behalves we could not bring in enough bucks. With the Holidays - we fell short of meeting the hotel and advertsing deadlines.   Rather than risk disappointing phans with an event that would be less than perfect for you... (Lord knows there's PLENTY of those out there!), or hanging up our advertising sponsors' and celebrities' schedules, We had to make the "Tough Love" decision to not do it at all.   We realize (already) that some phans will be angered at this decision.  Please know, though, that none of the celebrities are responsible for this decision... and should not be thought of poorly because of our decision to Cancel.   We want to thank the many people who helped us get this far:
