ROCK AND SHOCK 2010 - OCT 15, 16, 17 2010
 

We love horror movies...so 6 years ago we came up with the idea of combining the great music of our annual Metal And Hardcore Festival and adding it to a horror movie convention...and we called it Rock And Shock.  For the past five years we've watched in amazement at how this event has grown (and all the horror movie stars, directors and fans that have attended) and it just keeps getting bigger!  We'll be doing it again on this coming October 15, 16 and 17 at the DCU Center and The Palladium in Worcester, MA.  Find out more info at www.rockandshock.com
