GUEST SCHEDULE UPDATE: LOCHLYN MUNRO

Lochlyn Munro is currently filming and will be traveling to Spawn of ScareFest as soon as production wraps.

At this time, we do not expect Lochlyn to arrive at the hotel until at least 9:00 PM on Saturday, depending on traffic and travel conditions.

To help accommodate attendees, we will be hosting signing time for Lochlyn in the hotel lobby upon his arrival. His Saturday photo ops have been moved to approximately 9:15 PM and will begin as soon as he arrives.

If you are unable to attend the Saturday evening photo op due to the schedule change, we will gladly honor your ticket on Sunday instead. Please stop by the ticket booth on-site and we will help get you taken care of.

We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience. Lochlyn is making every effort to get here as quickly as possible, and we're looking forward to welcoming him to Spawn of ScareFest this weekend.

This is one of those opportunities horror fans rarely get.

For Spawn of ScareFest, Danny Hassel will be appearing in full A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5 character makeup created by legendary FX artist Joe Castro.

On Friday, you'll have the chance to photograph Danny in his unforgettable Dream Child appearance.

Then on Saturday, witness the full transformation and step into a photo op straight out of Freddy's nightmare world.

These are not standard convention photo ops. They're living recreations of some of the most memorable moments from the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, brought to life by the actor and a master of practical effects.

If you're a Nightmare fan, this is the kind of photo people will be talking about long after the weekend ends.

Don't wake up Monday wishing you'd gotten in line.

Huge shout out to Doomsday's Krypt for making this possible!

Tentacles. Mirrors. Gothic oddities. Tiny works of art that look like they belong in the halls of a haunted hotel.

Artist Sidney Ruth has generously donated this stunning handcrafted mirror as the Grand Prize for the Spawn of ScareFest Passport Trail.

Based on Florida's Space Coast, Sidney creates mixed-media artwork featuring hand-sculpted polymer clay, resin, antique mirrors, fantasy creatures, monsters, and all manner of beautifully strange details. Together with parents Michelle and Mike, she brings whimsical horror and eerie craftsmanship to life through her Eye Candy mini art and accessories line.

Complete the Passport Trail, collect all required stamps, and you'll be entered for a chance to take home this one-of-a-kind piece.

The winner must be present to win.
