During the 2008 calendar year Susan Gordon appeared at two film festivals with Bert I. Gordon: March 15 and 16 at the Ray Courts CHICAGO Show -- Chicago, Illinois, and June 20-22 at the Monster Bash 2008 in Pittsburgh, PA.
The 2007 Twilight Zone Convention held in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey on August 4 and 5, 2007 has come and gone! Susan appeared alongside many actors and actresses who had appeared in episodes of the original Twilight Zone television series. This was the forth time the convention has been held (twice on the West Coast and twice on the East Coast). Susan has appeared at all four conventions and hopes to appear at the next one in California in 2009. As has become her custom, she brought along her "The Susan Gordon Scrapbook" multimedia-presentation DVD and turned many heads with this 30-minute biopic.
Susan Gordon recently appeared at the Hollywood Collectors & Celebrities Show, February 16 - 17, 2007 in Burbank, California where she was billed alongside Joe Turkel and her father, Bert I. Gordon, for a The Boy and the Pirates reunion (coincidentally, all three worked together on Tormented, as well.) For Susan, this followed an appearance at the 2006 Twilight Zone Convention in New Jersey (August 12 - 13, 2006), the first Twilight Zone convention held on the East Coast. Two months earlier Susan had appeared at 2006 Monster Bash in Pittsburgh, PA (June 23 to 25). Headlining the 2006 Monster Bash was Susan's dad, Bert I. Gordon, a rare movie-festival appearance (of course, with his subsequent appearance at the Hollywood Collectors Show, his public appearances aren't as rare as they once were!). Kenny Miller was also in attendance, making for an Attack of the Puppet People reunion, as both Kenny and Susan appeared in that Bert I. Gordon production. Also in attendance at the Monster Bash was Charles Herbert who starred in many films in his youth, including the Bert I. Gordon classic, The Boy and the Pirates, in which Susan also starred. Numerous Bert I. Gordon films were screened at the 2006 Monster Bash and a DVD documentary of Susan's acting career ("The Susan Gordon Scrapbook") was also screened, and received an enormous ovation. Scarlet Street Magazine's editors, Richard Valley and Tom Amorosi, were in attendance, as well, and brought along with them their latest edition of Scarlet Street magazine (issue #55). Coincidentally this issue has features on Bert I. Gordon, Susan, and Kenny Miller!
In October 2005 Susan appeared at the Friends of Old-Time Radio Convention in Newark, NJ (October 20-23, 2005) where she reconnected with childhood friend, Jon Provost, and Noel Neill, whom she'd appeared with at the Asheville Film Festival in 2002. One of the many highlights of the Convention for Susan was participating in an interview hosted by radio and television legend, Joe Franklin. To the delight of those in attendance, surprise guests, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, were also interviewed by Joe Franklin.
Susan's appearance at The Old-Time Radio Show Convention followed "quick on the heels" of her appearance at the Festival of Fantastic Films in Manchester, England (September 2-4, 2005) where, after spending a few days as a tourist in London, she journeyed north to Manchester for a most enjoyable three days at the film festival. Susan's first film, "Attack of the Puppet People" was screened for those in attendance, as was a 30-minute multimedia retrospective of her acting career (which was shown twice, by popular demand). Earlier in 2005, Susan appeared at the Monster Bash near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (June 24 through 26, 2005). The guest list included many legends of the Horror genre. Her appearance there was so well received by fans and so enjoyed by Susan that she made an encore appearance at the 2006 Monster Bash from June 23 to 25, 2006.
As already noted above, Susan has been extremely busy with public appearances the past few years, personally meeting with her fans at numerous film festivals and autograph shows. Along with the festivals and conventions already mentioned above, Susan has appeared at the the Asheville Film Festival in North Carolina, the Ray Courts Hollywood Collectors Show, the 2002 & 2004 Twilight Zone Convention (both in North Hollywood), Fanex in Baltimore, Fangoria Fest in Brooklyn, and SuperMegaFest in Framingham, Massachusetts.
In 2004 Susan appeared at the October Chiller Theatre Expo at The Meadowlands in New Jersey. This followed an August 2004 appearance at the Twilight Zone Convention in North Hollywood where Susan had a wonderful time meeting with many of her fans. While at the 2004 Twilight Zone Convention, Susan reconnected with former child star Michael McGreevey, who costarred with Susan in The Man in the Net and her Route 66 episode. Coincidentally, also at the show were Martin Milner, star of Route 66, and H.M. Wynant, who also appeared in Susan's episode. For the four of them, it was a reunion of forty-four years since the episode was filmed in 1960. At that same convention, Susan was interviewed for a "DVD extra" to accompany the new, soon-to-be-released DVD set of the complete original Twilight Zone series. In January 2005, the latest issue of Twilight Zone trading cards was released featuring Susan's personally autographed card.
In addition to the many personal appearances she has made in recent years, Susan Gordon has also appeared in interviews in Fangoria Magazine (issue #218), the Horror-wood.com webzine, in the UK publication TV Zone in a series on child actors of the 1960's/1970's called The Children of Science Fiction, on the Jersey's Talking television interview show hosted by Lee Leonard, as well as in a book about Louis Armstrong, written by Scott Allen Nollen, titled Louis Armstrong: The Life, Music, and Screen Career. She also contributed a tape recorded interview while at the 2002 Twilight Zone convention for the Twilight Zone archives.
