Cons today are about reunions this one has GREAT ones ready for your attention…

We all grew up with our favorite creatures so let’s start with the ultimate Monster Squad, yes that nifty flick with a cult following from 1987. Making the journey is: Duncan Regehr who portrayed Count Dracula (as if you all didn’t know), Ryan Lambert, Andre Gower, Ashley Bank and Michael Reid Mackay who was the Mummy.

Returning once more due to popular demand is Night of the Demons [1988] with Amelia Kinkade, Alvin Alexis, Hal Havins, and of course, Linnea Quigley who is doing triple duty with The Return of the Living Dead [1985] reunion with Thom Mathews and then with stuntman Kevin Redzinski from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Speaking of Mathews he’s there in conjunction with CJ Graham for the film Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives [1986].

Now hold on folks, cause here’s another blow-out screaming good time for there’s a reunion featuring several cast members from A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child [1989] featuring: Lisa Wilcox, Whit Hertford, ~~Beatrice Boepple~~ (cancelled), Joe Seely, Erika Anderson, Danny Hassel and Nicholas Mele.

Any Terrifier 2 fans coming to the show? I hope so, because production team members are on hand to answer your questions for another reunion is Michael and Jason Leavy, Kill Josh Petrino, Phil Falcone and sharing news about their upcoming flick Stream with Mark Haynes.

Another minor reunion is for Halloween [2007] with Ken Foree and Tyler Mane who also is present to do a tiny reunion with the cool Bill Moseley for the film The Devil’s Rejects [2005].

Now for something very different that fans will find at this Horror Con and that the 40^th anniversary of Revenge of the Nerds [1984] … That being stated let’s look at the guests on-hand for the event Robert Carradine, who has extensive horror creds to his name from Orca [1977] to Ghost to Mars [2001] to The Terror Experiment [2010], Curtis Armstrong; the unforgettable Donald Gibb, Larry B. Scott, Brian Tochi, Andrew Cassese and Julia Montgomery who had starred in these long-lost horror treasures The Kindred [1987] and Girls Nite Out [1982].

But wait… did I mention that we have some special one-offs that you should visit such as the legendary writer and director Jeff Lieberman (Squirm [1976]) and the stellar Kelli Maroney (Chopping Mall [1986]) and there’s exquisite Samantha Mathis of American Psycho [2000] fame.

Oh, if you are interested here’s a secret, check the Q&A Panel and the Pro-Photo schedules for the time when to line up for certain guests, and then add-in about 15 to 30-minutes extra for the foot traffic back to their table; especially if they are doing the pictures in full costume.

Speaking of foot traffic make sure to dress comfortably the steampunk clothing is great but you could become overheated, and the footwear should be something is okay long-standing durations. Bring along a bag for your trinkets and a budget yourself with cash.

Remember the VIP tickets do grant you many treats such as the Red Carpet Kick Off Event!

Lastly, my Horror Fiends and Friends there’s the crowd entertainers of Barbie Chula NYC, Lord Damien MacDonovan and the blessed one, Father Evil.

Have a great time and take lots of pics of videos! The Con doesn’t set autograph prices and guests might cancel or only be there select days so check their Facebook and Instagram pages for updates!!!
