Flashback Weekend returns August 2-4. Once again, I will be "On the Beat" at Chicago's longest-running horror convention.
One of the coolest celebrities I met at Flashback Weekend was Fiona Dourif. The actor-director daughter of actor Brad Dourif, Fiona followed her father into the Chucky movie franchise. She began acting at 13 and became a segment producer for documentaries on History and TLC. Since then, she has appeared in many movies on television and the big screen.
When I met her at Flashback Weekend a few years ago, she seemed surprised when I named several of her roles. Naturally, a lot of fans there were first fans of her father and the Chucky series, but many of us also became real fans of her work in and out of that.
Fiona was an actress I didn't expect to meet, but thanks to Flashback Weekend, there she was! That's the kind of great talent lineup Flashback brings in every year. It is a great convention. It has everything a bigger con has, yet it retains a small con community feel. I never miss it.
