Fangoria Weekend of Horrors, Secaucus, NJ, September 24th, 2005 at the Crowne Plaza Meadowlands

Emily Perkins took the stage at around 4:45pm for her first ever convention appearance! Most genre fans are familiar of her work as the character Bridgitte from the Ginger Snaps movies and Bev from Stephen King’s IT. She talked a bit about her experiences on the Ginger Snaps sequels, citing the second film as her favorite of the trilogy. She mentioned that there is talk of doing an ongoing television series for Ginger Snaps, but weather she’d be involved is still up in the air. Tim Curry apparently took great pleasure in terrorizing the kids while in clown make-up, while John Ritter went out of his way to make jokes during the production of IT.

At the end of the panel, FANGORIA’S Tony Timpone and Michael Gingold came out to present Emily Perkins with her Fango Chainsaw Award, as voted by the fans of the magazine.
