Organizer Scott Fontenot supplied Ghost Signal Radio with the event’s original announcement, which describes a two-day gathering devoted to horror film, literature, art and fan culture. Planned activities include vendors selling macabre memorabilia, appearances by horror authors, celebrity panels, autographs, photo opportunities and after-parties.
Fontenot says the project grew from requests for a horror convention in his home state. The announcement emphasizes bringing fans together with artists, authors and performers.
The official website currently confirms the November dates. The original release does not provide a completed guest roster, ticket prices or a detailed program, and Fontenot says additional information is forthcoming. Readers should follow the event’s official channels for those announcements before booking particular experiences.
Ghost Signal Radio will distinguish confirmed additions from the broader plans described in this early announcement.
