I’ve been testing and using the Phantom for over a year now and have had the most remarkable results.  I’m a huge fan!  It isn’t like anything else...it needs to be examined…

Harold and Kumar Go to Comic-Con

View Beth Accomando's bio

Harold and Kumar had a presence at this year's Comic-Con. You could get your photo taken with a unicorn at their booth; buy the DVD or Blu Ray release of Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo before it came out in stores; snap a pic in a GB style prison cell complete with dirty toilet; get an orange jumpsuit; or ask questions of stars Kal Penn and John Cho at their panel. The suprise success of the first indie film, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, has paved the way for an unlikely pot comedy franchise. At the Comic-Con panel, director Jon Hurwitz talked about how the film's success allowed them to pack this new DVD/Blu Ray release with extras to please the loyal fan base. Here are a few highlights, plus you can find out if Penn and Cho are anything like their on-screen characters.

Thanks to Comic-Con for access to panel footage for our news coverage.

Harold and Kumar

Teen blogger Tony Weidinger gets sent to Guantanamo. (Beth Accomando)

Dude! You gotta check this out. You can pick up Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo on DVD and BluRay almost a week early at the Con. What makes it even more fun is you can take a picture of yourself in a prison cell that's as gross as the one in the film. And I was told that you can also have a chance to sit on the unicorn, have your picture taken and turned into a button that you can wear at the convention! Now is that awesome or what?

Kal Penn, John Cho, and Neil Patrick Harris are all scheduled to attend the DVD relase panel for Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo, Sunday, noon, Ballroom 20.
