Necronomi-Prom The Third annual Necronomi-Prom will be held Saturday, October 22rd, following the costume contest. The theme for this year's prom is "Martian Fantasy." Costumes or formal attire are encouraged but not required. This year, the hall costume award ribbons will be given out at the prom and only at the prom. Yes, it is a shameless attempt to get a lot of you to show up in costume. We love costumers and we want to see a lot of them showing up to dance the night away. Find out more details on the page we've made for the Necronomi-Prom! |

Third Annual Cthulhu Memorial Eye Scream Social: As a change of pace, and to make room for the Guest of Honor Banquet listed above, the Third Annual Cthulhu Memorial Eye Scream Social will be moving to Sunday at 2pm. This is a reward for all of those that have stuck around for the whole thing, and a sugar rush to keep you going for the rest of the day. |

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - The Sing-Along
"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - The Sing-Along The Sing-Along For our 30th anniversary, and for the last time at Necronomicon, we present to you our very own Live Shadow Cast, "We Do The Weird Stuff" (with stage ninjas) performing for your amusement (or condemnation). So, come prepared to have a good time and sing along, because, after all the real fun is in participating. Join us at Friday night at midnight in the main Ballroom! From Wikipedia: "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is a 43-minute musical film produced exclusively for Internet distribution. It tells the story of Dr. Horrible, the aspiring supervillain alter ego of Billy; Captain Hammer, his nemesis; and Penny, their mutual love interest. The movie was written by writer/director Joss Whedon, his brothers Zack Whedon (a television writer) and Jed Whedon (a composer), and Jed's fiancée, actress Maurissa Tancharoen. The writing team penned the musical during the WGA writers' strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike." Since this is our last time presenting "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," watch for a few surprises from the "We Do The Weird Stuff" Shadow Cast... This Just In! The Evil League of Evil is recruiting! If you are twisted, demented or been called Mad by a mob with torches, then you should check out their Recruiting page. |
