There are horror cons and then there's HorrorHound, a bonanza of a horror festival that really cares about all the aspects of their con. Needless to say, I took great advantage of all of them!

Let's start with the panels, I love them. I get to take a break from a crazy vendor floor and hear some of my favorite actors talk about behind the scene moments. The big one for me this year was Heather Langenkamp talk about kissing Johnny Depp during A Nightmare on Elm Street. Followed by the HorrorHound podcast panel where they interviewed Natalie Grace from Lee Cronin's the Mummy.

The show floor had lots of great dealers and MaskFest downstairs had unbelievably cool masks that made my mouth drop in awe.The number of people that cosplay and the work they put into their cosplay also adds to the fun.

The Night Terror After Hours was an amazing night with four bands, THE RUMOURS, DARK RIDE, THE EPIDEMIC, and THE BIG BAD. I've been wanting to see The Rumors the past few years so here was my chance to see them rock out and they did not disappoint.
