WonderCon Anaheim Panel Analyzes Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees<\/em><\/strong>
\nSaturday April 19, 2014, 7:30pm\u20138:30pm
\nRoom 208<\/p>\n

FORENSIC PSYCHIATRISTS AND HORROR SCREENWRITER PEER INSIDE THE MINDS OF ICONIC SLASHER FILM VILLAINS<\/p>\n

Los Angeles, CA, April 2014 \u2014 Once again, the doctors of Broadcast Thought, H. Eric Bender, M.D., Praveen R. Kambam, M.D., and Vasilis K. Pozios, M.D., return to WonderCon for another unprecedented panel. On Saturday, April 19, 2014, from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm in Room 208, they will team up with very special guest, Mark Swift, co-writer of Friday the 13th<\/em> (2009) and Freddy vs. Jason<\/em>, to present \u201cFlashback to the Slash Pack! Inside the Minds of Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees.\u201d<\/p>\n

The panelists consider if Michael is simply a sociopathic stalker, Freddy merely a manipulative monster, and Jason just a killing machine. Or is there more to these slashers when we slice below the surface? Can we make sense of a vengeful boogeyman\u2019s sister obsession? Could fire turn a sexually violent predator into a sadistic serial killer? Did \u201cmommy issues\u201d and bullying birth a brutish butcher? Who\u2019s the most dangerous killer, and which, if any, might be considered insane? Discover the answers to these and other questions, and come take a stab at these iconic slashers!<\/p>\n

While having fun with these fan favorites, the doctors will confront common misconceptions about violence and mental illness.<\/p>\n
