This was the crux of MTV’s FEAR, one of their earliest and most successful reality shows that was terribly short-lived.

I attended my first Blerdcon this year, and it did not disappoint. I expected to have a good time alongside all the other Blerds (Black+Nerd = Blerd) while geeking out over some of my favorite media.

Even on the way to the opening events, which included an interview with Rachel True hosted by Xero Gravity, it was hard to ignore all the cosplayers dressed as some of our favorite scary movie baddies.
