With the filming of Ash vs. Evil Dead, I thought we might see some changes to the previously announced "Bruce Campbell's Horror Fest" and the announcement came in today. While the event will still take place in Chicago, it's getting a new date and name:
"ROSEMONT, Ill., January 16, 2015 - Wizard World, Inc. (OTCBB: WIZD) and Dangerous Entertainment today announced that Wizard World Presents Bruce Campbell's Groovy Fest will co-locate with the 2015 Wizard World Comic Con Chicago, August 22-23 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. The event, formerly known as "Bruce Campbell's Horror Fest," is being moved to accommodate taping of Campbell's new TV show, "Ash vs. Evil Dead."
Those who had purchased admissions for the original event will receive full refunds, along with special offers. Additionally, fans with admission to Wizard World Comic Con Chicago, August 20-24, will also be able to attend the event with no extra admission fee. Single-day and VIP admissions will be available shortly.
"I'm very sorry for any inconvenience moving the event may cause and I appreciate your understanding," said Campbell. "We're excited to move the event, renamed 'Bruce Campbell's Groovy Fest' -- to highlight our groovy nature -- until August so Wizard World Comic Con Chicago fans can enjoy the show too. There will be more exciting details to come in the months ahead, so stay tuned!"
In addition, all full-price Bruce Campbell's Groovy Fest attendees will receive a limited edition exclusive variant cover "The Walking Dead" comic, drawn by one of Wizard World's talented artist guests (to be announced shortly). Comics will be issued at registration while supplies last and VIP attendees will receive an additional black & white sketch version.
Wizard World Presents Bruce Campbell's Groovy Fest show hours are Saturday, August 22, 10 a.m.-7 p.m., and Sunday, August 23, 11 a.m.-5 p.m."
