We are so excited, the event is going to be a whole pile of King-y nonsense!!  

COME EARLY for the doors opening at 5:30 if you don't want to miss out on the fun!

The official event, which starts at 6:30, is a two-person panel discussion with Sharon and John Campopiano (film director), followed by the film screening of Pennywise, with a Q&A afterwards. 

But before all that, we have Cranky the Clown School Dropout)playing outside the venue (weather permitting), Pennywise will be handing out cotton candy to attendees.  Each ticketholder also gets a goodie bag with custom souvenirs courtesy of us and Coast City Comics, and other surprises.  You don't want to miss this! 

 

John will have his Pennywise costume that Tim Curry wore during filming, and posters from his films.  We are setting up a Carrie prom night photo booth for selfies, and I'll be selling copies of Sharon's book, as well as the new Stephen King book.  

 

Tristan (Coast City Comics) will have copies of Blu-Rays of Pennywise for sale, plus copies of the Creepshow comic, and other locally-produced tshirts, bags, and pins.  John will be bringing posters from his movies which will be for sale too.

 

Come prepared to take advantage of our Carrie Prom Night photo booth for selfies, and see one of Tim Curry's Pennywise costumes from the 1990 adaptation of Stephen King's IT!

It's really just us throwing a big Stephen King theme party for Sharon's book for everyone to enjoy.  So come on down, celebrate Sharon's book release and John's great documentaries, which capture the oral history and behind-the-scenes of movies - some well-known, some obscure!  Maine is filled with wild and weird stories, and hard-working creative people who bring it all to life - come raise a glass to being a part of Stephen King's Maine!
