Once again booked for the Valentine's Weekend, Horror Con is for My Kinda People...The Creepy Kind ;)
No date required for attending this ghoulish event full of folks who love all that goes bump in the night.
From the spine tingling to the campy B-rated features, it is a free for all who just love a good scare, get together to talk favouite bad guys and take a run through a zombie gauntlet....wait, wha? (scroll down to learn more)
I had a great time at the first ever Horror Con in 2016 and am so happy it is returning in 2017! Mark your calendars for Feb 11 & 12th, 2017.
