I have met some horror movie stars on movie conventions in Hamburg (Germany). For example, there were
- Gunnar Hansen ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre"),
- Bill Johnson ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2"),
- Leonard A. Lies, David Emge, Scott H. Reininger, Jim Krut, Sharon Ceccatti and Clayton Hill (all from "Dawn Of The Dead")
- Tony Todd ("Night Of The Living Dead", "The Crow")
- Doug Bradley ("Hellraiser")
I've also met two german independent movie directors, Andreas Bethmann (owner of the german horror movie label "X-Rated" and director of "Rossa Venezia" or "Dämonenbrut") and Timo Rose (director of "Mutation" and "Space Wolf"). But I'm not sure how many people outside germany know these two guys :-)
