Hull Horror Fest

Hull Horror Fest is back in Hull this Halloween season, a horror-themed Comic-Con that brings together fans of the macabre under one roof. If you've spent your October watching old slashers or reading ghost stories, it's a good place to find people who're on the same wavelength.

The bulk of the day is built around more than 60 stalls run by artists, authors and creators, so there's plenty to browse through if you're into horror art, independent zines or niche collectibles. It's the kind of setup where you can spend a few hours just drifting from table to table. Alongside the stalls, there are replica photo opportunities for when you want a proper shot with something from your favourite film, and cosplay for anyone who wants to turn up in character. If you've got a costume you've been waiting for an excuse to wear, this is a fair shout.

It's a daytime thing, running from 10am to 4pm, so it's more of a Saturday outing than a late one. Entry is £12 on the door, and it all happens right here in Hull.
