Mid-Atlantic Nostagia Convention to screen old Buck Rogers, Bela Lugosi, and more

The Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention is a non-profit convention celebrating old television and movies. The event will be 18-20 September at the Clarion Hotel in Abderdeen, Maryland.

Publicity contact Martin Grams told SFScope and the sf-nal elements of the convention: They'll be "screening the 1934 Buck Rogers film short that was produced for the Chicago World's Fair. We are also screening in the movie room the 'lost' 1934 movie The Gift of Gab with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, the 1954 Egyptian version of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and the 1974 TV movie of Wonder Woman with Cathy Lee Crosby. On Thursday evening, a drive-in movie theater, a fifty-foot screen, will be displayed outside. At sunset, It Came from Outer Space, the 1953 Ray Bradbury classic, will be shown on the big screen. A 70th anniversary retrospective of the War of the Worlds panic broadcast will be featured, and a presentation about The Twilight Zone are among the many events. Hollywood celebrities Edd Byrnes, Kathleen Hughes, Patty McCormack, Jon Provost, Larry Storch, and Margaret Kerry will be signing autographs."
