Here's our interview with BEATexpo creator and organizer Charles Rosenay:

GEMMZINE Charles, did you start as a collector of horror films and music together or one before the other?

Charles Rosenay: My first memory in life was seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. At about the same time, I was building those old Aurora monster models. When other kids were bringing in their G.I. Joe and Barbie dolls to "show & tell," my kindergarten class was exposed to my "She Loves You" 45 and a Frankenstein model. My mom was cool enough to let me keep everything, which is how my collections started.

GEMMZINE: When did you start with the Beatles events?

Charles Rosenay: The first convention I produced was in 1978 while I was still a student. A Beatles fan from BostonStrawberry Fields Forever." He was my inspiration for putting on conventions in Connecticut and publishing a pro-zine called "Good Day Sunshine." named Joe Pope was doing shows at the old Bradford Hotel, while putting out a self-xeroed zine called "

GEMMZINE: Did the tours branch out from that?

Charles Rosenay: Yes, the "Magical History Tour" started in 1983 as a way for fans to go to Liverpool with fellow fans. We stopped doing the magazine, took a break from the conventions, but have done the tour for 26 straight years. Next year, for the 50 anniversary of The Beatles playing in Germany, we're including Hamburg along with our tour to Liverpool and London. (www.LiverpoolTours.com)

GEMMZINE: What can the fans expect at BEATexpo in regards to merchandise?

Charles Rosenay: Everything imaginable from sealed Butcher covers and original autographs valued in the thousands to buttons and books and records for under a dollar. We have exhibitors from all over the country, and there should be everything for both the casual collector looking for a little souvenir and the die-hard enthusiast who has been collecting for 45 years.

GEMMZINE: Is there any kind of "club" activities where fans buzz about upcoming events?

Charles Rosenay: We have \n This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We also publish a daily online newsletter for monster mavens, and that's free too: Horror Happenings Examiner
(http://www.examiner.com/x-9764-Horror-Happenings-Examiner).

GEMMZINE: What other events are in the works?

Charles Rosenay: We have very popular "Beatles dance parties" throughout the year in various clubs and venues in New England, where we bring in a Beatles tribute band and I DJ between sets. If the BEATexpo, which is our first convention in 12 years, is as successful as I think it will be, we'll have another next year. As for the monsters world, we are doing so many things:

~our "Dracula Tour: Vampire Vacation to Transylvania," where every Halloween, travelers spend a week in Transylvania (yes, really! in Romania) and celebrate Halloween night in Dracula's Castle (www.DracTours.com)

~"GHOSTour to Scotland" in May of 2011, a haunted vacation to the scariest places in Scotland

~"GHOSTour to England" may 2012, haunted vacation to Britain's scariest places (www.GHOSTours.com)

~"Weekend of the Witch" a witch-filled weekend getaway to Salem, Mass in July and November (http://toursandevents.com/wotw.htm).

We're always doing fun things for fans because I'm a fan first,a and this is all the stuff I enjoy!
