There are media reports that a fire was intentionally set and when fire fighters arrived, they were ambushed! More reports indicate there is still some at large..
This is the strange part of summer.. not yet the midsummer nightmare.. bright enough and hot enough for your mind to be fooled that daylight is already starting to …wane.
Have you noticed.. the days are ALREADY getting shorter ? The best months of the year–at least for light and vitamin D–are April through June.. July begins that slow hot panic into autumn .. the nights are just increasingly inching towards dominance.. the darkness wins soon. Until then, enjoy these fleeting moments of light and bright..
On July 8th, around 11:15 UTC, approximately 99% of the Earth’s population experiences some form of sunlight, whether it’s direct daylight or indirect light like twilight. This phenomenon is due to the Earth’s rotation and the distribution of landmasses relative to the sun. The peak of this event occurs for a period of about 60 days surrounding the summer solstice. ..
The event featured a mix of horror legends and lesser-known gems from the genre, giving fans everything from nostalgia to fresh blood. Unfortunately, we found out about the convention a little too late this year to help promote it properly. But trust us, we’ll be ready next year. Count on The Horror Report to shine a bigger spotlight on it in 2026.
There were some really fun guests.
In the meantime, enjoy a few snapshots from our visit including some special moments we won’t soon forget.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the lovely Dee Wallace, and so did my son. She couldn’t have been more gracious. She is truly an amazing soul. My son even shared with her one of his earliest memories: when he was about 5 or 6, my late father (his grandfather) was babysitting him and, right before falling asleep, put on Cujo. Let’s just say that traumatizing a child with a rabid St. Bernard was not the best idea but Dee absolutely loved the story. She admitted she was pretty traumatized by it too. Instant connection. She told us an interesting story about the multiple dogs used in the film, and how she was really bloodied during filming when glass cut her arm.
I also got to meet Robert Longstreet, known for Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, Halloween Kills, and more. A genuinely down-to-earth guy. He was humble, kind, and a pleasure to talk with. Another great human being in the horror world. He loved Midnight Mass as much as me.. he also hopes that, if Michael Flanagan is reading, out Robert in your next project, ok!?
And last but not least of my favorites today, the great Harry Manfredini, the legendary composer behind the Friday the 13th films. What a riot. He was a laugh-a-minute, full of stories, sharp wit, and just an all-around blast to be around.
It’s nothing but praise from us here at The Horror Report for Horror on Main. Harrisburg, you hosted a great show. We will be back next time. I heard some great stories.. and after seeing the pictures, realized my 14-year-old is now taller than me…. How about that.
