Kane Hodder is instantly thought of when the Friday the 13th franchise is mentioned, and his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in four of the films as well as the 2017 video game set a record for most appearances as the character. Speaking of legacies, Hodder also created a new franchise maniac by playing Victor Crowley in all four of Adam Green’s Hatchet movies, and also worked with Adam, whether acting or doing stunt coordination, on Holliston, Chillerama, Frozen and Digging Up the Marrow. Kane has starred in films such as Death House, Smothered, Old 37, House II, Prison, and many, many more, and his biography (Unmasked: The True Story of the World’s Most Prolific Cinematic Killer) has also been made into a documentary titled To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story. He is one of our most popular guests, and we hope you will give Kane a warm welcome this October 11-13!

The last time Adrienne King was at Rock and Shock was 2009. As the show was nearly over on Sunday a seasonally unusual snow squall moved in. While inconvenient, it also provided the opportunity to see Adrienne do what she does best: care. She told every fan that stopped by her table to be safe traveling, then repeated the well wishes to any worker, vendor or fellow guest she saw after the show ended. That level of concern shows that Adrienne is not only a fantastic actor (Friday the 13th I and II, Tales of Poe, Killer Therapy), painter and winemaker (Crystal Lake Wine), using her natural talent to bring empathy and connection to every project she takes on, but she is also one of the most amazingly thoughtful people you could ever meet. She has genuine care and appreciation for her fans, and if you’d like to make your day even better while at Rock and Shock this October, stopping by to see Adrienne King would be a great way to do so!

Since her debut in the 1984 cult classic The Wild Life, Sherilyn Fenn has been delivering captivating performances for the directors she’s worked with as well as the audiences that have watched her. Bringing depth and wonder to each character, she has owned the big and small screen alike with roles in diverse projects like Just One of the Guys, The Wraith, Two Moon Junction, Of Mice and Men (1992), Boxing Helena, Tales From the Crypt, Ray Donovan and Shameless. After working with director David Lynch in Wild at Heart, he cast her in the fan favorite role of Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks, a role she would play in the 1989-91 original run as well as the 2017 continuation. Sherilyn’s filmography has something for everyone, and we hope you’ll be with us at Rock and Shock to meet her. 

Evil Dead fans, what do you say we bring some famous ladies to stand alongside Bruce Campbell, namely the Ladies of The Evil Dead! That’s right, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker and Theresa Tilly are coming to Rock and Shock! Filming a low budget independent feature is not easy, especially out in the woods. There is never enough time, money, supplies or rest. The elements are as much an enemy as a friend. Physical and emotional tolls are taken, all for the hope to get your work, your vision, onto screens and out to the public. The odds are against you, but sometimes a special film comes along and breaks through all the constraints to become legendary. Such was the case in 1981 for Sam Raimi’s debut feature, The Evil Dead, and the filming struggles and eventual success of the film created many lasting bonds within the cast and crew, including the friendship between Betsy (Linda), Theresa (Shelly) and Ellen (Cheryl). Despite going on to their own individual careers, the trio would reunite for Brutal Massacre: A Comedy, Dangerous Women, and they’d work with Sam Raimi again on Oz the Great and Powerful. Their friendship would shine even brighter, though, when they began touring the convention circuit together and meeting their fans as The Ladies of The Evil Dead. And now, you’ll get the chance to see for yourself how fun they are this October 11-13 at the DCU Center in downtown Worcester!

Friends, the inimitable Laura Palmer herself, Sheryl Lee, is coming to Rock and Shock! Playing a character that takes the hearts and souls of the audience is never easy, but that’s exactly what Sheryl did with her portrayal of not only the mysterious murder victim, Laura Palmer, but also playing her own cousin, Maddy Ferguson. Sheryl reprised her most famous role in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me as well as the 2017 revival of the series. Beyond that, Lee has starred in Wild At Heart, Vampires, L.A. Doctors, and Dirty Sexy Money. She’ll be with us this October 11-13^th at Rock and Shock!
