FEARnet and Butterfinger will host a special signing by "Butterfinger the 13th" director Rob Lowe ("Parks and Recreation," "Brothers & Sisters") on Friday, July 22 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. at the Sony booth. "Butterfinger the 13th" is the first-ever comedy-horror film created and produced by one of America's iconic candy brands. It is set to premiere on Facebook.com/Butterfinger on October 13 and then will be available on FEARnet and Crackle.
FEARnet also will hold an exclusive sneak preview event of the new "Twisted Comedy" block presented by Butterfinger on Thursday, July 21 from 6:00-8:30 p.m. Hosts Jason Mewes ("Mallrats," "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back") and Angie Greenup (G4's "It's Effin' Science," FEARnet's "Movies with More Brains") will present exclusive segments and distribute limited-edition, party-exclusive swag.
