Horror Hound Countdown Day... Oh... Who Cares?

Crap! I saw the following announcement on the Horror Hound Weekend forums today:

We are saddened to announce that due to a recently-diagnosed medical situation, Christina Lindberg has been forced to cancel out of this November's HorrorHound Weekend event. Christina will be undergoing immediate surgery next week and we at HorrorHound, and Synapse Films, wish Christina the best and pray for a healthy and speedy recovery.

In the midst of this diagnosis - Christina feels very sorry to all her fans whom have planned trips to the Indianapolis area to meet her, obtain autographs, witness a rare Q&A, etc... and despite her personal trauma - she has somehow assured that anyone coming to this convention event will still have a chance to walk away from the show with something special. Her manager, Rickard Gramfors, will be flying in from Sweden with a package of special autographed pictures, DVDs and other items that will be available for purchase at the Synapse booth.

A screening of They Call Her One Eye will still occur, to be followed by a special career presentation on Christina, as well as a presentation of the "Origins of Swedish Sin" from Rickard, who is also a film researcher, collector and expert on Swedish exploitation cinema.

Christina promises to try and attend a HorrorHound Weekend event in the future to hopefully meet with all the fans who will sadly miss out on this highly-anticipated appearance.More importantly, we urge fans to bring get well cards and well wishes to the Synapse booth, which will be brought back to Christina as she recovers.

I am beyond sad by this news. This was like a once and a lifetime deal. She doesn't do conventions and I was completely psyched to have her sign my One Eye pressbook. Don't get me wrong. We'll still have a good time, but this is a HUGE blow to my enthusiasm for this one. Christina Lindberg was the one person that I really wanted to see, but alas it was not meant to be.
