Son of Monsterpalooza 2023!!  

🙌🏽

Brilliant video matey, loved it agree about prices are getting too out of hand now. Same here in the UK.

Ya prices are definitely getting astronomical at these convention.Its getting to the point where its no longer fun to collect.I never knew that they did figures for Mad Max.I know that they just released funko pops for it

Nice haul my nerdy friend see you next Sunday at the John Carpenter event

Congratulations 🎉on the wedding Monster Squad 🤘

The pricing is crazy. They need to figure something out because I know a lot of the guests lost out on money because of there pricing. One guy like you said had an addition for everything it really made me feel like they were trying to rip me off. More for quote, more for picture and more for what ever a premium item was. But if your a smaller character and charging almost as much as the star your going to miss out on money.

Another awesome video

Son of Monsterpalooza Burbank! Sam Raimi! Very cool that you got to meet him and a photo with him!🎉🎉Great interaction with Vernon.🤘🏽 Cool to see you interact with some of the vendors. Great video Fonso! Keep up the great content Sir. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Always enjoyed Commando..thats so cool you met Vernon Wells....

I had an absolute blast at son of monsterpalooza. Possibly my favorite convention I've been to so far. Highlights for me were definitely meeting the raimi bros and the cast of sleepaway camp. The latter had tons of energy and were overall super happy to be there. Got a poster signed by the whole cast too! Sam Raimi gave me great advice on how to be a good filmmaker, saying that you should practice everyday to perfect your craft. Ted had a really cool anecdote about the Beatles as well. I also got a pic with Spencer Charnas while waiting in line for Sam Raimi. Really cool guy too! I also saw you guys walk past while in line for Sam Raimi. I tried to say hello, but I guess I wasn't loud enough lol. Hope you guys had a great time!

Fun as always.. 🤙! Vernon Wells' stories were hilarious.. 😂

Great video! You got some other good interactions despite the no camera restrictions. Super random, but I love that Vernon Wells accepts all major credit cards. 😂 Respect.

Hey Fonso, it was great meeting you and talking to you towards the end on Saturday and thanks for the shout out in the video. I’m the one from Las Vegas and we were talking about how crazy Bill Johnson’s pricing were. I’ll see you at the John Carpenter signing next weekend! Take care man.

Great interview with Vernon Wells!! Sam Raimi’s security was very strict on Sunday too. He would make you put your phones away when you got inside the room. I agree these celebrities are charging too much. I blew my budget on 3 Sam Raimi autographs and 1 Devon Sawa combo 😞 Congratulations to your friends/family that got married on Friday the 13th!! That’s so BADASS!! It’s even cooler you were the one who ordained the marriage!! AWESOME Video 🤙🏼

Awesome that you got to go to tia and past events bro maybe I’ll see you out there next year

Vernon Wells is the man! Disapointing about Mekhi Phifer not the right impression one would wanna make for his first convention.

I remember when everyone was $20 long time ago. great video

hey man ! Great video ! I met ya on Saturday ! I saw you guys in line for your first auto session but decided to wait till I saw ya out in the hall. Finally caught ya near the outside edge and we spoke about how I love your interactions and how you draw the convo from everyone ! Next time I’m grabbin a pic with you I was kind of wondering where Scott was since you were alone lol

Great video and channel. I spy the awesome FX artist Norman Cabrera on the left of video at the 1:39 1:40 mark.🤘🏻

Fonso, another great video brother!!

That Guillermo del Toro fact was cool! He's a favorite as well. As for the pricing...I assume because of the SAG strike those actors are still struggling so they needed to up their prices to help.

Just wanted to say this was my first Horror convention and your (and other Monster Squad members) videos were really helpful for preparation in terms of having the right gear as well as what proper etiquette looks like at these events. I actually passed by you guys, but I didn't want to disturb any filming that was happening. I was probably 6 or 8 people behind you in the room where Sam Raimi was signing, and oh man, are you right about how it was a super close call before getting that cutoff for the photo op. I was hoping to catch up after the signing, but I saw you guys talking to Veron Wells (super nice guy), anyway, since I didn't get the chance I was wondering what Raimi might have said when he saw your Evil Dead 2 soundtrack?

Even tho I’d already boughten a ticket I basically forced myself to get I kind of didn’t really even wanna go I just felt pooped out. Like you said con after con after con I’m glad after the Carpenter signing next week there’s a bit of a break. I also really just wanted the SC cast I didn’t care much for Sam or Elvira even tho I would’ve liked to I couldn’t convinced myself to spend the money.

How come u didn't get to talk to the thriller girl Ola Ray...I believe she was in the thriller exhibit

How much was elvira this time around?

People are getting greedy at these conventions, i understand they gotta make money but it’s like there’s a limit to how much I’m willing to spend for someone’s signature. There’s times where I come across the actors signatures going for less on eBay than at these cons.

Hey Fonso, I really enjoy your videos. Anyways, I have a con story to share about pricing. Not sure if you’re into wrestling, but I went to a wrestling convention several years ago, and Marty Jannetty was there. Nobody was in his line, and I wanted him to sign my Hasbro figure of him. His vendor was like “he will sign that for $40”. I told him I’ll pass. Then he said “ok, he’ll do it for $30.” I again said I’ll pass. He then dropped it to $20, which I agreed to. But he told told me not to tell anyone, because he couldn’t give everyone that deal. Again, nobody was in his line….😂

Anyone know the name of the company at 24:43?

Bummer about the pricing, it's getting a bit rediculous how much guests are starting to charge even over here in Ireland and England. It's ok for the average attendee but for us avid convention go'ers it gets a bit pricey and you gotta start prioritizing. Great video no the less Alfonso especially after coming down from the high of Halloween 45. Keep up the great work guys!

I have been going to these conventions since 1978 , the last year or two I have been doing less and less , its just pricing me out .. planning on retiring next year , next year will be my last out at the cons .. Bill Moseley and Bill Johnson were charging $60 each in Las Vegas for Days of the Dead a few months back, I saw here at Son of Monsterpalooza they dropped their prices to $50 each , maybe they are getting the hint .
