  • If I bought advance tickets online, where do I pick them up or will they be sent to me?
    If you bought advance tickets online, you will be placed on our will call list. Nothing will be mailed to you prior to the show. You simply have to show up at the show with a Photo ID, and check in at the will call area where you will receive a wristband. If you purchased weekend admission or a VIP pass, your wristbands must be worn at all times all weekend. Sorry – but they are waterproof! If you lose it, break it, or give it away you will not be allowed back in without purchasing a new wristband.
  • I purchased VIP passes, when and where can I pick them up?
    VIP passes/wristbands will be available at the Will Call area on Thursday night from 6pm-8pm for anyone that is at the hotel early, and beginning at 4pm on Friday afternoon. Will call will be open the remainder of the weekend until all passes are picked up. Remember your VIP pass gets you in an hour earlier than everyone else. You MUST have a photo ID to claim them, no exceptions!
  • Are rooms available at the Wyndham Orlando Resort?
    Yes, and at a special room rate of $99/night. You must mention “Spooky Empire” in order to get this special rate. The deadline for this special rate is September 8th. We definitely recommend you stay at the hotel; you don’t want to miss out on anything, especially the after parties! Reserve your room quick, last year we sold out! You can reach the Wyndham at 1-800-421-8001, more info is on our site under “Hotel”
  • Can I bring a video camera or take pictures at the show?
    Absolutely! We encourage you to take photos and video, and we especially ask that you share your pictures with us so that we can post them on our website. Or send us a copy of your video, capturing your experience. We do ask that you please ask the celebrities before video taping them or taking their pictures, some may get offended.
  • Should I wear my costume?
    You should definitely wear your costume. That’s what the show’s all about. Be sure to enter our costume contest being held on Sunday afternoon. We encourage costumes and cosplay throughout the course of the weekend! The only rules we have for costumes is – No real weapons may be carried around the convention area. No real guns, knives, etc, and of course no nudity, this is a family attended show.
  • Will I have to pay a separate admission for the Film Festival, Live Bands, Seminars, and Q&A’s?
    No, they are all included with the price of your admission, but you must have a wristband to enter all of these events.
  • Do the celebrity guests charge for their autographs?
    Most of them do charge a fee. It runs anywhere from $10 up to $30 per autograph with the average being $25, depending on the guests. There are a few that don’t charge, but it is rare.
  • Can I bring my kids to the show?
    Absolutely, we try to make our event a family friendly gathering. In fact, to encourage it, children 10 and under are admitted FREE, but must be accompanied by an adult that has paid admission.
  • Where do I park?
    There is some parking at the Wyndham, but unless you are staying at the hotel it goes very quickly. If you are staying at the Wyndham you shouldn’t have a problem getting a spot. If you are not staying at the Wyndham, there are many parking areas nearby. There is a large parking area behind the (now closed) Friday’s restaurant on International Drive. There is also parking East of Sandlake Road on Canada Avenue, which is just South of International Drive. If you own a hearse bring it with you, there is reserved parking at the Wyndham just for Hearses!
  • I would like to carpool or find someone to share a room with, how can I contact other attendees?
    Join our message board. It’s the best place to find more information about the show from other attendees and fans.
  • What if the celebrity I really wanted to see cancels and does not make the show for some reason, can I get a refund on my ticket?
    Spooky Empire will not announce or advertise any celebrity guest that we have not personally spoken to and confirmed for the show. That being said, of course there are extreme circumstances that may arise that might make it impossible for a guest to make it. In the event of an extreme circumstance causing a guest to cancel, we will make every effort to get another comparable guest. So in answer to the question, we will not refund a ticket based on a cancellation outside of our control. We ask that you come to the convention to enjoy the WHOLE show and celebrity lineup, not just ONE single star or author.
  • Will celebrity guests be available to sign autographs during the entire convention?
    Yes, with the occasional exception of one or two guests, most of them will be available to sign the entire convention during celebrity room hours. In the case where a guest will only be available for a limited time period we will post that information on our website.
