The Official Rock and Shock 2010 website isn't set to launch until next weekend, but From Dusk till Con has been given permission to leak a few early guest announcements to the Dusker Nation.

If you didn't already know, From Dusk till Con is the proud host of the Official Rock and Shock 2010 forum for this year's incarnation of the Massachusettes convention that combines the best in horror with the best in hard rock and metal to form one hell of a fiendishly good time.

This afternoon, Rock and Shock has given From Dusk till Con to leak a handful of guests before the official Rock and Shock website launches late next week. As always, the FDTC faithful are privy to the latest info and updates from around the horror convention world, as well as a few exclusives too!

So without further ado, the first few guests confirmed for Rock and Shock 2010 are as follows:

- RUGGERO DEODATO (Italian Master if Horror who's work includes Cannibal Holocaust, Last Cannibal World, and House on the Edge of the Park)

- Thom Mathews (Return of the Living Dead I and II, Jason Lives)

- Beverly Randolph (Return of the Living Dead)

- David Hess (Last House on the Left, House on the Edge of the Park)

- William Katt (House, Mirrors 2, Twin Falls Idaho)

- Terrance Zdunich (Repo! The Genetic Opera, "The Molting" comic book)

- Charles Band (performing with the Charles Band Road Show)

Talking about kicking off the show with a bang! These guests will be joining the bands GWAR, Nevermore, Suffocation, and Twiztid (all of which were also leaked today only through From Dusk till Con), in what promises to be Rock and Shock's best show yet!

Rock and Shock happens October 15th-17th at the DCU Center and The Palladium in Worcester, MA. Many, many more guests announcements are to come as well as band and film announcements so stay tuned!
