Actress Lin Shaye and director Nicolas Pesce attended the Kuala Lumpur Comic Fiesta 2019 on Saturday December 21st to promote the upcoming film – The Grudge. 100 girls went into makeup for a massive cosplay and walked through the convention hall to the delight, and terror, of attendees.
This is the first film with a cast member and director to attend Comic Fiesta. At the event, the actor and director of the horror film revealed several preview clips and took questions from the audience at the Main Stage. The duo also signed autographs for some lucky Comic Fiesta attendees. Kuala Lumpur Comic Fiesta 2019 is an annual convention that began since 2002, but this is the first time ever the event is joined by film stars from the states.
