Ghostbusters West Virginia Division

Ghostbusters West Virginia Division is represented by a panel discussion with Adam Ash, Jimmy Pettry and Jack Arkham. The ghostbusting trio discuss why they do what they do, their equipment and more. Later, we see a snippet of the Junior Ghostbuster Training Session, hosted by Kevin Pauley and recorded by Lee Harrah. All of this happened at ShockaCon 2015.

Daniel Boyd presented a Horror Writing workshop, while a “Women In Horror” panel discussion stole the show. Professor Sinister’s Savage Sideshow has also been posted here. There were also three guys talking about science fiction toys. Our previous panels were all about the modern Doctor Who and Horror Punk.

The Horror Punk Summit at ShockaCon 2015

Horror punk picGeorge Durbin III moderates a panel on Horror Punk music with Argyle Goolsby, The Renfields and The Cryptoids. The bands discuss their origins, their influences and talk about some of their most memorable shows.

All the bands on this panel performed at ShockaCon’s after-hours party, and showed off their horrific punk prowess. This panel has one edit where your PopCulteer had to switch cameras due to a battery giving out. So sadly we missed the part where Glenn Danzig stuck his head in the door and told everybody that they were better than he was. But the rest of the panel is a lot of fun, so you didn’t miss much.

Monday Morning Art: Reading Is Sexy

Today’s art is a semi-abstract psychedelic exercise in color design, negative space, color composition and throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. This is a digital painting, but if you squint hard enough you might find Pepper Fandango and Luna L’Enfant hiding in there amongst the dischord. Click to see it bigger.

There will be no Radio Free Charleston or RFC MINI SHOW this week, as we are spending all of our time editing and posting video from ShockaCon 2015, which took place in Charleston September 18 – 20. Thus far we have brought you about four hours of panels, parades and performances. We will continue this until we have posted pretty much everything that we recorded. Check PopCult often over the next several days so you relive ShockaCon, if you were there, or see what you missed if you weren’t.
