Will you be adding more guests?

Most likely, yes…we are always adding new guests all the way up until the show. We do have to stop at some point though! But…please don’t ask us if we’re adding more guests five seconds after an announcement of five new guests!

Can I bring my camera and take pictures?

Yes, you can bring your camera and you can take as many pictures as you want. We only ask that you refrain from harassing the guests, if they don’t want to take a picture please don’t make an issue of it. Also, we always love to get copies of your photos for our archives, so send a copy over to our PO Box!

Can I wear a costume?

Yes, not only do we encourage costumes, but we also have a costume contest with cash prizes!! So make it a good one. If your costume is not complete without a weapon, please use common sense. Make sure your weapons are peace bonded, or noticeably fake, and please don’t use them in any way that would harm another person. They will be taken away or you will be asked to leave.

Can I bring my child to this event, are there age restrictions?

Yes, this event is for all ages. Children 10 and under are admitted for free with an adult. We invite them to be a part of the zombie walk, and we also have a kids section to our costume contest. We love to have future horror fans at our events!

There are only a couple of events that we suggest are not appropriate for children of course, such as the late night pool parties and late night events. Anyone under the age of 21 will not be admitted to the VIP party for all of you VIP pass holders. Of course film screenings are at the discretion of the parent also. Please be responsible for your children and use common sense.

Do I have to pay for autographs or are they included in the price of my admission?

Autographs need to be purchased separately. The celebrity guests charge their own fees for autographs ranging anywhere from $10 to $40. Some guests may also charge for a photo at their table, while other may take a photo for free with the purchase of an autograph.

Are there any events not included in my admission?
For the most part all events are included with your admission. The only exceptions are the following:
  1. Getting tattooed
  2. Taking part in the Poker Tournament, this is a charity event and there is a request for a donation for your buy in.
  3. If there is ever a celebrity guest/event that would require us to charge fans for a separate package. We would obviously advertise this in advance if this was ever an issue.
  4. Of course an VIP events are only for VIP passholders. VIP package details are available on our site.
Where can I buy tickets?

Advance tickets are available on our site all the way up until the day before the show. You can also purchase admission at the door when you arrive.

My favorite celebrity guest cancelled his/her appearance, can I get a refund?

NO. All guests and events are subject to change or cancellation. There are still many other celebrity guests in attendance and the show is still up and running. We will, however, do our best to make sure everyone knows about cancellations before they get to the show.

Do I have to purchase admission to this event; can’t I just walk in and see if I want to stay first?

You MUST have purchased admission to the event. If you are seen without an admission bracelet or a vendors lanyard you will first be escorted to the ticket booth and given a chance to purchase admission, and if you are caught again you will be asked to leave or even escorted off the premises. This includes all event rooms, the lobby area of the convention and the pool parties! NO…you cannot just step in to find a friend, or to just buy that one item, or to see if your favorite guest is at their table…so don’t even ask!! We keep our admission prices at the lowest possible to allow fans to enjoy the show, if you don’t want to pay then you are not here to support this event!

I am in a wheelchair or have a disability. Will I have any problems getting into certain events or meeting the celebrities?

Absolutely not, we will gladly help you in any way we can so that you can enjoy every part of this event! If you have any issues at all please look for an event staff person or a volunteer. They are all easily marked by their shirts. Anyone in a wheelchair or with a disability will be escorted into all Q&As and panels first, if you are not please find a volunteer to do so.
