Wow... just wow. This was my first year ever going to a horror convention like Days of the Dead in Schaumburg... (It's called the Chicago show... but we all know that doesn't really mean in the city) What an amazing show. There were celebrities around every corner from
Dave Ellefson from Megadeth to Ray Park aka Darth Maul from Star Wars Episode 1. I also saw Jon Heder from Napoleon Dynamite... that was one of my favorites :) With the mass amounts of famous people the costumes at this event were incredible! I was literally scared of the con goers. The make-up and special effects on the costumes were so realistic... and the vendors sold some creepy things. Including teddy bears ripping their faces off. 😅 Another vendor called Twisted Ponies turned MyLittlePonies into horror ponies! (They are on Etsy and Facebook!) Another really cool jeweler was The Zombie Hotel. They sold one of a kind skull jewelry and remade old movie posters! My favorite part of their booth though was the cosplay photos of zombie Snow White! She was epic you have to check it out on Facebook and Etsy!
This show was something I never experienced before it was a different feel than the usual pop culture convention but something I would suggest to someone who loves Pop Cult Conventions. It gives you a chance to see a whole different side of Pop Culture. I personally don't always love horror movies and gross teddy bears; but I have to say the atmosphere and feel of the convention made me comfortable and had me smiling the whole time ;)
