Q: I Know everybody in the biz. Can I get in free!
A: No. This is one of our biggest pains. Somebody comes up and says to one of us that they know one of our guest's or that that work for one of the horror magazines or media outlets on the web. Now we don't have a problem giving out media passes to legitimate members of the press and those who are doing a serious feature for the magazine television show etc. Otherwise go put up your own money and spend your own $20,000 and get in for free.
