Astronomicon 3 Takes Place February 7-9, 2020 in Sterling Heights, MI
The minds behind Astronomicon, the Detroit area’s newest pop culture convention, have revealed a new documentary, entitled Astronomicon The Making Of: A Pop Culture Convention, available now via Amazon Prime.
Astronomicon The Making Of: A Pop Culture Convention takes viewers behind the scenes to experience what goes into the production and end result of a convention. Through incredible convention video footage and interviews with organizers Twiztid, the hard-working Astronomiconstaff, guests and fans, viewers will get a feel for the Astronomicon experience and learn why its dedicated fanbase has made it Metro Detroit’s fastest-growing convention.
“We’re here because of them,” beloved actor Sid Haig says of his longtime friends in Twiztid in the documentary.
“Astronomicon rocks!” says Pro skateboarder and reality star Bam Margera.
