THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, SHOCK TREATMENT and PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE will be screened on 16mm film
with live accompanying
performances by fans attending from all over the country.
Our special guests will be PERRY BEDDEN and KIMI WONG O'BRIEN.
Perry & Kimi will be there to meet and greet all attendees. There will be a question/answer & autograph
session during the event. There will *NOT* be any additional charges for autographs.
PLEASE VISIT OUR GUESTS PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
We are very pleased to welcome RAY PRICE, a local stand-up comedian and Rocky Horror fan.
Ray often performs before RHPS at the Esquire in Cincinnati and we are looking forward to having him at TCJ!!!!
MOVIE-THEMED COSTUME/DANCE PARTY: Dress up as your favorite movie character on our Friday night party.
Costumes do NOT have to be Rocky Horror-related. Dress up as ANY movie-related character! There will be a DJ & cashbar at the party.
FAN DISCUSSION FORUMS: There will be panel discussions with long-time RH veterans covering things like starting a cast, running a
successful cast, dealing with theatre management & cast problems, advertising, costuming, etc. If you have never been to a convention before or if you
are newer to the Rocky Horror fan community this will be a perfect opportunity to ask questions and hear some advice from some of the people who have been around
for years.
(We will be contacting people in the near future to speak on the panels. If you would like to be considered for a panel, please contact us at thecelluloidjam@gmail.com.
MERCHANDISE VENDORS: There will be a number of vendors from all around the country offering Rocky Horror-related merchandise, costumes, and memorabilia for sale.
COSTUME RUNWAY/FASHION SHOW:
We're going to try something different that (we don't think) has never been done at a Rocky Horror convention.
Instead of the same old contests and challenges we're gonna do something that's a little less competitive that focuses on everyone's efforts instead of picking a select few who are "the best."
Most fans who make their costumes put a lot into their costumes and we think originality and individuality is just as important as screen accuracy. Who wants to watch judges count sequins for two hours anyway?
So, we're going to be doing a costume fashion show/runway for all fans who want to show off their costumes for Rocky Horror, Shock Treatment or Phantom Of The Paradise.
Anyone can enter and be a part of the show. All who wish to be a part of the fashion show can enter.
The only requirement is that your costume must be from one of the three films we are showing at TCJ.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A SCREEN ACCURATE COSTUME and you can even design your own costume that may or may not look identical to the film. Do you want to dress up as Riff-Raff with red vinyl pants? That's not a problem.
Do you want to dress up as a screen-accurate Frank down to the detail of having a real Boss tattoo? That'll work too.
The focus here is on having fun and letting everyone who has a costume that they are proud of be in the spotlight for a short time to show it off.
We *will* be giving prizes for the fashion show. We will pick three people who will get "honorable mention" and a small prize. But everyone will have the same amount of time to show off their costumes.
Remember: this is about having a good time, showing off our creativity, and sharing our passion for the films and the experience. We may not all look alike and have screen accurate costumes but that's a good thing. If everyone had the same screen accurate Magenta costumes that would be boring.
If you have any other questions or concerns about the costume fashion show, please drop us a line.
AUCTION, RAFFLE, PRIZES, & OTHER SURPRISES: In addition to the standard merchandise auction & raffle,
we will also be having random free prize giveaways. There will be a few other giveaways with a special twist that you won't want to miss!
RARE VIDEOS & FOOTAGE: We will be screening some rarely-seen RHPS/Shocky/Phantom footage throughout the weekend in our smaller convention room.
CAST PRE-SHOWS: There will be pre-show skits/entertainment from attending casts around the country. We will be awarding a prize to the best pre-show.
MERCHANDISE TRADING: A lot of collectors have wanted to see something like this at a convention, so we're gonna give it a try. We will be setting aside some time for
all of the merchandise collectors to do some trading. If you're into collecting merchandise, be it photos, books, records/CD's, shirts, etc. don't put your spare swag on eBay--bring it to the con and do some
trading with your fellow collectors!
BOSS AWARD: The 2009 Boss Award winner will be announced at The Celluloid Jam. The award will be presented by all of the attending previous winners. Please click here for more info on the Rocky Horror Boss Award.
All conventions events subject to change.
If you have any questions at all please e-mail us at: TheCelluloidJam@gmail.com
We're looking forward to seeing you all there!
Thank You,
