- Big news for you View Askew & “Clerks” fans — We’d previously reported that Jason Mewes would be attending Chiller Con in Parsippany, NJ from May 2nd through the 4th, just a few weeks away. Now, the reason to make the trip gets even better! Brian O’Halloran and Marilyn Ghigliotti will ALSO appear and sign autographs at the show, in their first ever con reunion! Yep, that’s THREE of the main cast from the original View Askew Production, all in one place, happy to meet their fans and sign some swag.
We’ve had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of time with Marliyn and Brian over the years, and can attest to the fact that these are two of the most kind, gracious folks in the biz, who love their fans. Don’t miss this chance to visit the Con and meet three View Askew icons.
Note – This hasn’t yet been published on the website, but we can confirm this inside information is TRUE and that both Brian and Marilyn have booked their appearances. A good horror convention just got even better. We’ll see ya there!

Reports: Major “Mallrats” Event In Nashville!
“…I wanted to thank you for mentioning an event a few weeks back that was in my neck of the woods this past weekend, the midnight screenings of Mallrats at the Belcourt Theater. You certainly prevented me from feeling like Brodie when he found out that Stan Lee was signing comics at his mall and he knew nothing about it.
The theater went all out and you could tell that the staff were huge fans. With each admission, you got to have your picture taken with the Easter bunny. They have a full bar, so they had a drink special called the Kryptonite Condom and of course sold chocolate-covered pretzels. I’ve attached some pics from the event and you can see my Bunny experience here:
You can see the all the Bunny pics here:
This guy got into the spirit of things way too much….
Anyhow, it was a great night and an opportunity to see this often overlooked gem on the big screen. Thanks for the heads up on it via your site.”
“…I attended the Saturday midnight screening of Mallrats in Nashville, which was phenomenal. Their drink special was a “Kryptonite Condom”, and they also sold chocolate-covered pretzels. I won a Mallrats poster for wearing Brodie’s shirt, and everyone got their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. I highly suggest seeing Mallrats with an audience. Keep up the great site, guys.”
Does that seem like a blast, or what? View Askew audiences are the best. Don’t miss your chance to join the party at the next screening near you. We’ll let you know, as we usually hear of them first.

Scan evidence above. The article cites Kevin as a trailblazer for bringing other big TV and film writers into the comics industry.
- On Monday, April 21 at 2:15, the Nashville Film Festival will host a panel for Actors-Turned-Directors, featuring Chasing Amy’s own Joey Lauren Adams.
