QC FrightCon was a blast - and what a line-up! Thanks to all who came out, I really enjoyed our conversations. #qcfrightcon #quadcities #rivercenter #davenport #iowa
On the road again! In the Quad Cities for QC Fright Con. River Center, Davenport Fri/Sat/Sun. Join usssss... 🧟♂️💿
🎶 "Hot dog, jumping frog, almond cookie..." 🎶 😉 Albuquerque we are in you!
Thanks to everyone who came out last night for the first night of the tour. Everyone was so enthusiastic! For me the best part of the night was the Q&A after the film-I would have happily done another hour if the cinema didn't have to shut at 10.30pm! OK, Kansas - we're coming to get you, Wichita!🧟♂️💿
It's May! Not long until the tour. Join usss...🧟♂️💿 Ticket links here: mark.donovan.net/news/midwest...
DATE ADDED! We will be at The Hydeout in Wichita, Kansas on May 27th. How's THAT for a slice of fried gold? #YeahBoyy 🧟♂️💿
I'm very excited to announce that this summer I am teaming up again with @madamemaehorrorfrights for a Midwest screening/signing tour of Shaun of the Dead! More dates to come. See @madamemaehorrorfrights post for more details! Stay tuned - and join usssss... 🧟♂️💿
Another one of my commissions has come in, this time from artist @freddgorham.bsky.social! There are such talented people out there, who needs AI? I love it. Cheers, Fredd! 🙂
To counteract the endless stream of AI caricatures, I reached out to a few of my 100% human artist friends to do my caricature with the aim of showcasing their different styles/takes on the commission. The first one is in! Thanks @jayfosgitt.bsky.social, I love it! More to come.
Issue # 6 of Cryptology magazine! In their Zombie issue I was delighted to give them a 5 page interview about my views on Shaun of the Dead, Plan 9 and all things zombie! Here's the first page as a taster, and you can buy the full magazine (or download a digital copy) at the linktree in my bio.
For my Welsh pals - look who showed up! Only the Mari Lwyd!! Made my day. 🙂
Champaign I am in you! Lots of lovely folks so far at @darkhistoryhorrorcon , and much more fun and games to come! "Join ussss..." 🧟♂️💿
@vcorenmitchell.bsky.social Did you see the first line of today's NYT Connections? 🕊🤣
@zombiepumpkins.bsky.social Pallets full of pumpkins waiting to be carved at Reiman Gardens in Iowa on this morning's news. Those patterns look awfully familiar! Congratulations
...Not forgetting my home from home for 21 years, the Queens (now "Sondheim") Theatre. The Grand Old Lady turns 118 years old today! Many happy returns queues, Ma'am.
Happy 40th birthday @lesmisofficial.bsky.social When I went to see it in 1989 to celebrate my 21st birthday I had no idea what a major part of my life it would become. Thanks for the memories x
Well, that's it. I hope you've all enjoyed my wander through some of the roles I've had the privilege of playing from the 80s to the present day. These days my work is largely confined to the convention circuit, travelling the US and meeting fans. I couldn't be more grateful. Here's to the future! 🙂
Illinois folks - I will be at Dark History & Horror Con in Champaign/Urbana on November 8th & 9th! Looking forward to seeing you all at the Orpheum Theatre. More info here: www.facebook.com/share/1CBmBL...
