Lloyd Kaufman and Herschell Gordon Lewis have been added to the Florida Supercon 2012 guest list!
Lloyd Kaufman is the President and Co-Founder of Troma Entertainment, film director, producer, screenwriter and occasional actor. He is best known as the creator and director of The Toxic Avenger and Tromeo and Juliet. Kaufman also serves as chairman of the Independent Film & Television Alliance.

Herschell Gordon Lewis is the undisputed Godfather of Gore! In 1963 Lewis, with his monumental splatter movie Blood Feast, single-handedly changed the face of horror cinema forever. As well as virtually inventing the gore generation, Lewis also produced a number of "exploitation" movies, as well as sampling the full gamut of exploitation subjects ranging from wife-swapping and ESP to rock 'n' roll and LSD. A Taste of Blood details all these, plus gore classics such as 2,000 Maniacs, The Gore Gore Girls, Color Me Blood Red and Wizard of Gore, placing them in context amid the roots and development of the exploitation film. After over three decades away from filmmaking, HGL returned in 2002 with Blood Feast 2 and most recently completed The Uh-Oh Show in 2010.
