I fell in love with an inanimate object last year. I fell in love with a blog. Yes, I know how silly that may seem, but it was love at first sight for me. The first post from Freddy In Space that really grabbed me was what could be considered an inane one. It was entitled “The Freddy Candy Bowl & Musical Jason Heads”…and that’s what it was about, a couple of Halloween decorations. I was impressed I was seeing a blog post about something so “trivial”. But that’s just it, it wasn’t trivial. For horror nerds, it’s an interesting subject, and I was interested! I found out about Freddy In Space sometime in early September. I had found myself more on Facebook at that time, and came across the profile of John Squires. I knew I recognized his bearded face from interactions I had with him at Monster Mania Con at the Fright Rags table. He’s got a face you don’t forget…I think the beard is what does it. When I added him, he remembered me too and we started an awesome cyber friendship that is still going strong. We have had many a random aim chat, and that’s really what inspired this interview.

Hey everyone, it’s me Kristy! I’m the one who makes all of those sticker packs you find hiding out in your Fright Rags order, I’m also the one who runs the Street Team (don’t worry it will soon be more of an interactive team instead of just a Facebook profile haha), I field customer service emails, but more than anything I am the girl you will find standing behind the Fright Rags table at Conventions. And it’s that last piece to my puzzle that has prompted this latest conversation topic.
Going to Horror Conventions has become a big part of my life over the last almost 2 years. I’ve been a Horror nerd since I was about 3 or 4, but only started going to Cons over the past couple of years. Mainly because it took me that long to find friends as enthusiastic as me about Horror who would trek 4 or 5 hours just to meet some Horror celebs and geek out on action figures and rare out of print dvd’s. It was at Monster Mania in August of 2008 that I met Ben Scrivens, owner/founder of Fright Rags and he changed my life for the better. Because of him not only did I start working for the greatest Horror t shirt company in the universe, but I met some of my all-time favorite Horror celebs and got an awesomely painful concussion from Jeff Zornow at Monster Mania Conn this past June! On a personal note, if it weren’t for Fright Rags and the Con life I would have never met my boyfriend, and I would have never met Fright Rags superfan Mike Kenny, who is now practically engaged to my niece Melissa. I am overstating it, but the Convention life has given me so many amazing experiences, and so many new friends, it’s a life I could live forever, and hopefully I will…
It prompts me to ask the question of you: What are some of your favorite Convention moments? It can be any Convention, whether Fright Rags has a table there or not. We’re about to start a new Con season and it just made me want to know more about your experiences at Cons! Have you met your significant other there? Met a celeb who was a class act? Met a celeb who ruined your childhood memories of them? Tell me all of it! Fright Rags customers happen to be the best part of this job, so I would be jazzed if you took a moment to share!
You will catch Fright Rags in all three installments of Monster Mania (March, June and August) and hopefully more Conventions this year-we will keep you posted!
Thanks!
-Kristy!

Since posting about the new shirts last week, I’ve seen many comments (and received quite a few emails) echoing similar concerns regarding the fit of the new shirt, where they are made, and even the difference in the cotton between the new style and the old style. So, I thought I would take some time to address all of these in this post. Hopefully the following information and images will help you understand a bit more about the new shirts and why we are making the change.

Greetings from your fearless shipping manager. Lately, Ben and I have spent a lot of time talking with each other about how broad the field of horror is. He and I grew up on the movies, sure, but there was also an abundance of horror comics (EC reprints) and horror literature (King, Koontz, Barker etc.) to poison the fertile soil of our imaginations.
