Midsummer Scream has announced an awesome, unprecedented panel for the event that runs July 29-31 this year in Long Beach. Right there on the Main Stage ballroom Saturday afternoon, July 30th, will be the Original Monster Kids. What’s that you ask? It’s a panel that will feature Sara Karloff, daughter of Boris Karloff; Ron Chaney, grandson and great-grandson of Lon Chaney Jr. and Sr.; Lynne Lugosi Sparks, granddaughter of Bela Lugosi; and Victoria Price, daughter of Vincent Price.
During the 90-minute presentation, the collection of creepy kids will share personal family stories, photos, and if we’re lucky, a home movie or two. Fans will get a very personal, very intimate look into the private lives of the actors who brought some of film’s most iconic characters to life.
Moderating the presentation is Kirk Hammett, a renowned collector of classic horror memorabilia, and lead guitarist in Metallica. As a long-time friend of the Karloff, Lugosi, Chaney, and Price families.
“We couldn’t be more excited about bringing this panel to the community,” says Gary Baker, Executive Producer of Midsummer Scream. “Through the years, we have hosted some pretty spectacular moments on our stage. Having these kids and grandkids of such important horror and pop-culture icons is not only a thrill, but also important and a very special look into the private lives of Hollywood royalty.”
We will be front and center for this remarkable event.
