Selling Your Own Damn Movie Without Selling Your Soul!” And Troma has just updated this announcement by revealing that genre legend Lance Henriksen has joined the panel as well.

The Troma panel will take place at 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 23 in Room 9 of the San Diego Convention Center, 111 W. Harbor Drive. The panelists will also include GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE producer Steven Paul, HATCHET director Adam Green, CREEP VAN helmer Scott Mckinlay and New York State Film Commissioner Pat Kaufman.
