SciFi Happenings in October

Although I haven't yet confirmed it with my friend Dutch Stacy, I am hoping to get up to HallowCon 2015 in Dalton, GA this Halloween. I really need to call him. If you're looking for something to do at the end of the month and you're close to the Chattanooga/north Georgia area, check out HallowCon. The convention will be held at the EconoLodge and Convention Center right off I-75. That's where we used to hold Magic Carpet Con in the 1990s.

In other news, Andre Norton fans will be delighted (or dismayed) to hear that three Witch World movies are going into production.  A small company called Kirin Media Ventures has acquired the film rights and they have retained film/documentary producer George Paige to get the ball rolling on the first movie.  The three films will be based on the first two Witch World novels, Witch World and Web of the Witch World.  A Chinese production company, Kylin Network (Beijing) Movie & Culture Media Co. Ltd., is also involved in the project.
