This year, they're commemorating the chilling 35th anniversary of Tales From the Crypt with their marquee guest, John Kassir, the unmistakable voice behind the iconic Crypt Keeper. But that's just the beginning! They're cranking up the creep factor with not one but two legendary vehicles on display--the Ghostbusters Ectomobile and the Resident Evil Raccoon City Police Cruiser. And don't miss a rare opportunity to see Tim Curry's screen-used Pennywise costume from the horror classic IT!

During the convention, immerse yourself in a myriad of macabre activities: flaunt your frightening best in our Costume Contest or show off your ink in the Tattoo Contest; test your horror knowledge in games designed to thrill and challenge; explore panels and live podcasts diving into the darkest corners of horror lore; shop for unique, convention-exclusive merch and dozens of creepy vendors that are sure to commemorate your terrifying day. Enjoy live music that sets the eerie ambiance perfectly.

Tickets for this unparalleled day of horror are just $25 for general admission. You can purchase the tickets here.
