A Podcask of Amontillado Spookshow: Horror Cons

May 9, 2023 admin 0 Comments

Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.

We are a few months from Spooky Season, Connoisseurs, but we are just about to enter another great time of year, Convention Season! And there is no con like a horror con! The stars, the cosplay, the dealer’s room, the excitement of being surrounded by hundreds of fellow fans of fear! There is so much going on, so much to do, where do you start? Especially if you’ve never been?

Thankfully, this episode will help you with those questions, and more, as Erin & Gary are joined in the Catacombs by Brittney, aka Sunny Midnight! She’s the hostess with the mostess for Fright Nights at The Springs Cinema & Taphouse, as well as a guest wrangler at many horror conventions! Listen in as they discuss why you should attend horror conventions, why you might want to volunteer for a con, what to do (and NOT do) while there, share con stories, Norman Reedus’ stealth skills, how to survive the dealer’s room, who they’d like to meet at a con, horror cosplay, finding your horror community, and the importance of playing it cool.
