Well, there was a brief scare that Roddy Piper was gonna pull out of the show, but that was averted. Sadly, two other celebs that I was really looking forward to seeing HAVE decided to pull out. Stephen Geoffreys and Sybil Danning will not be attending the show and I am completely bummed.

If you remember back during the Teen Sex Comedy marathon, I sang Geoffreys praises in Faternity Vacation and told of his later career in the gay porn industry. Of course before he went down that dark and hairy path, he appeared in two pretty major horror vehicles (Fright Night and 976-Evil) both of which I am a pretty big fan of.

Sybil Danning I remember most for Reform School Girls, but she also had a leading role in the schlockfest, Howling II: Your Sister is a Wolf. She's kinda a trash film icon and I was really looking forward to meeting her.

This really puts a damper on the little movie countdown I have going. Fright Night was up next and 976-Evil and Reform School Girls were also on my list. Also gone from the guest list (although I'm not mourning it too hard) is Matt Helms, the wild boy from Cabin Fever. Of course, this was another movie on my list for the countdown... which is getting shorter... and shorter...

Here's hoping that we've seen the last of the celebs jumping ship.
