[RECAP] New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival April 2024 | ZombieFuel.net

  by Bone Jawnson A few weeks ago, I attended the New Jersey Horror Con & Film Festival in Edison, New Jersey. It's been a bit since I have attended one, so I was overly psyched to go! This time was special because I was able to bring my daughter. Having just hit the tween stage in her own life, she started to exand her interest in films, music, and fashion, particularly flashy earrings. The drive to the venue was about one hours and twenty minutes, which was completely fine because it was mostly highway driving.

It begins with a woman receiving a mysterious video cassette tape in the mail, putting it in the VHS player, hitting the play button, and casting the viewer into a world of killer mayhem.
