Attendance ran to slightly over 1,000 people in 2005 and a small hotel can no longer hold the show. If a location can not be found and we have to wait until 2007 expect the show to be at or close to twice the size, if need be it will be worth the wait. (10-25-05)We are pleased to announce that Tom Savini has just joined our guest list, he is one of the greatest if not the greatest special effect makeup artists in the world, he has also acted in such movies as From Dusk Till Dawn, Dawn Of The Dead, the new Dawn Of The Dead, Land Of The Dead, and many more.(10-15-05)Of course Dark Xmas has a new official site at www.darkxmas.net and the angelfire site hasn't been used in almost a year, however since a few of you seem to still come to this site I thought I would give it a long overdue update with the 2005 show coming up right around the corner.

Marina Sirtis (Deana Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation) will be at a fund raising charity event so she will be unable to attend this years show however she is likely to be attending next years show.
