We’d type this in ALL CAPS but we are saving our screams for the Spooky Empire Rock N Roll, Horror, Halloween and Tattoo Convention the second weekend in October.
The insane event will take place from October 7-9 at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL. Consider it the darker side of Comic Con. In attendance will be special celebrity guests including this murderers’ row: Robert Englund who you know as “Freddy Krueger,” Doug Bradley “Pinhead,” Tony Moran “Michael Myers,” Kane Hodder “Jason Voorhees” and Bill Johnson “Leatherface.” Also you can rub elbows with Weird Al Yankovic, Karen Fukuhara “Katana” (Suicide Squad), Woooo! Ric Flair, cast members from Stranger Things (including the incredible Gaten Matarazzo who plays Dustin Henderson) and many more awesome personas and people!
From the tattoo orbit will be Ink Master‘s Jime Litwalk, Caroline Evans and TJ Hal. Representing Best Ink will be Alli Baker and a tattooer who transcends TV, Paul Acker, who is worth the price of admission alone. Check out the rest of the roster if you are in the market for a sweet new horror piece.
But wait, there’s gore! There will be a Zombie Walk, screenings of amazing horror picture shows (including the Rocky one), Special FX makeup artists and a Cosplay and Costume contest with $1,000 in cash/prizes.
Trick and treat yo self! Get a discount on advance tickets right now. And make sure to follow Spooky Empire on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more updates.
