Horror-themed Comic-Con with more than 60 stalls, artists and authors, replica photo ops and special guests from horror films.
Hull Horror Fest returns to Costello Stadium on Saturday 24 October, its eighth year running. It's a horror-themed Comic-Con that brings together more than 60 stalls, artists, authors and creators, with replica photo ops and the chance to meet the special guests. Cosplay is optional, so you can turn up in your best costume or just come as you are.
The guest list this time around draws from a few different corners of the genre. Leonora Scelfo was in Scream; Barbie Wilde appeared in Hellbound: Hellraiser II; Nicholas Vince is known for Hellraiser and Nightbreed; and Cinzia Monreale was in The Beyond. Between them, that's a fair bit of horror history to walk around and chat with over the course of the day.
Beyond the guests, the bulk of the event is in the stalls. With over 60 of them, there's plenty to browse, and the mix of artists, authors and creators means you'll find a good range of things to look at. The replica photo ops are there too, if you want a picture with some of the set-ups. It's a family-friendly day, so it works as much for a group of friends as it does for a family outing.
