With Fangoria Trinity of Terrors, Fangoria Entertainment celebrates its 30th anniversary as publisher of the world’s best-selling horror magazine and industry leader of all things horror since 1979, with this brand new multi-media horror event. The extravaganza fittingly takes place Halloween weekend, beginning Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1, 2009 at the beautiful Palms Casino Resort, home of Las Vegas' premier musical venue, the Pearl Concert Theater.

This event will feature celebrity appearances, as well as signings, screenings, vendors, exhibitors, panel discussions, special FX make-up applications, video gaming, tattooing, collectibles, special VIP parties and much more.

A high point will be the special Halloween night performance by multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning alternative metal masters, Slipknot, in the Pearl Concert Theater. 

The weekend's guests include: original Fango editor Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin, Roger Corman (Death Race 2000, The Pit And The Pendulum), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Rob Zombie’s Halloween), George A. Romero (Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead), John Waters (Pink Flamingos, Seed Of Chucky), Fairuza Balk (The Craft, American History X), Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, The Frighteners), Ken Foree (Dawn Of The Dead, The Devil’s Rejects), Tony Todd (Candyman, The Crow) and Dee Wallace (The House of the Devil, The Howling, Cujo). Also expected to appear are Bruce Campbell,  Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects), David Naughton (American Werewolf) and Patricia Tallman ("Barbara", Night of the Living Dead 1990).

Over a dozen new films will be screened, including Joseph Maddrey's critically acclaimed documentary Nightmares in Red, White and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film  and the world premiere of Dark House starring Jeffrey Combs, as well as Ti West’s latest terrifying frightfest, The House of the Devil.

But this isn't your typical convention "panel room viewing"--panels and film screenings  will be presented in the beautiful Brenden Theatres auditoriums, featuring state-of-the-art projection and sound. Brenden has 14 auditoriums at the Palms, equipped with IMAX, 3D and more. They are also the home of the renowned CineVegas Film Festival.

Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, it’s a banner year for Fangoria Entertainment. Boasting a completely re-designed and upgraded network of websites and online social community geared towards the “horror lifestyle,” Fangoria is rocking hard in 2009 with its all-new Trinity Of Terrors event in Las Vegas along with all new content for its Sirius/XM Satellite Fangoria Radio show, the expansion of the Fangoria Musick division and the advent of the Fangoria Graphix line of novels, comics and magazines, featuring the relaunch of the popular hardcore horror mag GoreZone and the kid-friendly classic The Monster Times.
