BLOOD WRESTLING: ONLY AT GENGHIS CON II: THE WRATH OF CON
Pittsburgh-based film company Happy Cloud Pictures is proud to announce
that Genghis Con II: The Wrath of Con will be hosting a very special
event on Saturday, Setember 16: Blood Bath: The First Blood Wrestling
Match Ever Held!
Seemingly a no-brainer for the horror lover, the event was the
inspiration of Christy Whiles of Toe Tag Pictures, and will be held for
the first time ever at Genghis Con II, Saturday only. "It'll be a
knock-down, drag out good time," says show promoter (and wrestling
participant) Amy Lynn Best, "six beautiful women covered with stage
blood inside the hotel itself!"
Genghis Con II runs September 15-17 at the Greentree Radisson, just
minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. Having made its premiere last year,
Genghis Con is the first of its kind in Pittsburgh, making its dual
focus the horror genre and the wide and busy world of independent
filmmaking. This year's special celebrity guests include Lloyd
Kaufman, the president and co-founder of Troma Entertainment-the
oldest independent film studio in the country, responsible for such
films as The Toxic Avenger and Tromeo and Juliet. Joining Lloyd is a
variety of horror entertainment staples including actor Reggie
Bannister, from the cult series Phantasm; Leslie Easterbrook from The
Devil's Rejects and Police Academy; actress and producer Debbie
Rochon (Nowhere Man); actress Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living
Dead); April Monique Burril, the star of Chainsaw Sally; Ari Lehman
"The First Jason" from Friday the 13th; international promotional
model-turned-actress Sofiya Smirnova (Abattoir) and many more to come!
(Guests subject to change.)
Because of the special nature of the Blood Wrestling event, an
additional charge of $5 will be charged for those interested in
attending, but space is limited and only 200 tickets will be sold
beginning at 11 AM at the Happy Cloud Pictures booth. Tickets to the
Blood Wrestling will only be sold to those who already hold a weekend
or two-day pass (available online or at the door). Blood Wrestling
tickets will not be sold online. While only those eighteen years old
and over will be admitted to the Blood Wrestling, there will be no
nudity involved with the event and no alcohol will be permitted inside
the event room. A photo session with the ladies will be held
immediately after the event (additional charges for photos apply).
Portions of the proceeds will be donated to charity.
"This is a world-premiere event," says Best. "To our knowledge,
no one has ever done anything like this before, combining horror movie
fun with wrestling. It seemed like the perfect idea!"
