OKC Horror Con Brings Scream, The Exorcist And The Lost Boys Stars To Oklahoma
Horror fans can spend the weekend with some of the biggest names from Scream, The Exorcist, The Lost Boys and The Walking Dead as OKC Horror Con returns Friday through Sunday.
The OKC Horror Con runs July 17 through July 19 at a new and larger location this year, the Delta Hotels Midwest City at the Reed Conference Center. Organizers say the move allows for expanded programming, more than 150 vendors and artists, interactive scare zones and official after-parties.
OKC Horror Con Brings Horror Icons To Oklahoma
The OKC Horror Con celebrity lineup includes actors and creators behind some of the most recognizable horror movies and television shows.
Rose McGowan, known to horror fans as Tatum Riley in the original Scream, is scheduled to appear alongside Roger L. Jackson, the instantly recognizable voice of Ghostface throughout the Scream franchise.
Linda Blair, whose performance as Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist became one of the most iconic roles in horror movie history, is also scheduled to meet fans throughout the weekend.
Fans of The Lost Boys can meet Jason Patric and Billy Wirth, while The Walking Dead fans will have an opportunity to meet special effects artist, producer and director Greg Nicotero.
The celebrity guest list also includes Jaime Pressly, Friday the 13th actor Derek Mears, Hellraiser star Ashley Laurence and Scream 4 actress Marley Shelton. Fans can find the complete celebrity schedule and appearance information through the official OKC Horror Con event website.
Monsters, Cosplay And More Than 150 Horror Vendors
Celebrity appearances are only part of the weekend.
Organizers have created interactive scare zones filled with live monsters and jump scares for fans looking for something slightly more intense than browsing the convention floor.
More than 150 independent artists, horror vendors and oddities creators will also be selling collectibles, artwork and other merchandise throughout the convention.
The weekend includes celebrity Q&A panels, competitive horror cosplay showcases and professional photo opportunities with participating guests.
Friday's convention hours run from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., followed by Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tickets Available Online And At The Door
Single-day admission for Friday and Sunday is $25 online or $30 at the door, while Saturday admission is $35 online or $40 at the door.
Fans planning to spend the entire weekend among monsters, vampires and Ghostface can purchase a weekend pass for $65 online or $75 at the door.
Children 12 and younger are admitted free, and parking at the Reed Conference Center is also free for convention attendees.
The Delta Hotels Midwest City at the Reed Conference Center will host this year's convention and related events, giving organizers additional room for programming and the convention's official after-parties.
Whether your horror loyalty belongs to Scream, The Exorcist, The Lost Boys, Hellraiser or The Walking Dead, OKC Horror Con is offering Oklahoma horror fans three days to celebrate the movies, monsters and characters that keep them happily awake at night.
