WEEKEND OF HORRORS - CHICAGOFANGORIA's 30th Anniversary Tour kicked off March 6-8, 2009 just outside the Windy City as the WEEKEND OF HORRORS tore through the Wyndham Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois. Visitors to the show were treated to three days of celebrity guests, panel discussions, contests, photo/autograph sessions, sneak-previews, vendors, and for the first time ever, live tattooing from local shops, presented in part by Tattoo Savage Magazine. In addition, this show marked the return of FANGORIA's SHOCK*N*ROLL SPOOKTACULAR, with live performances by Spooksmodel Shannon Lark, DJ Brianne, Fashion Bomb, and Mushroomhead.
