GUESTS

Jared Padalecki Angela Bettis Robert Rodriguez Tom Savini Dick Durock Harry Knowles Peter Stickles Ryan Nicholson Kane Hodder Debbie Rochon Brinke Stevens William Butler Sam McMurray John Buechler Donnie Dunagan Gary Kent Uwe Boll Will Sanderson Elise Avellan Electra Avellan Kevin Spiritas Jack Amos Lar Park-Lincoln Gris Grimly Marcus Koch Joe Davison Brandon Slagle Jeff Dylan Graham Lou Perryman Raine Brown Clint Glenn Stacy Davidson Stephen Romano Prof. Griffin Ken Evert Allen Danziger Bill Johnson William Lustig Sean Clark Diana Barrows

All guest appearances are tentative and subject to change.

The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest). Asking for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts (you can do this at photo ops), getting into long personal stories, or worse, is not acceptable for this format and, in fact, is quite self-centered when you are in essence "representing" all of fandom to a celebrity. Join us in trying to make this convention the best entertainment for everyone!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Note: Patrons must bring an item for celebrities to sign. You can bring something from home or purchase a photo or other collectible in the vendors room

Note: Guests appear ONE day of the convention, so therefore their autographing and/or photo ops take place that day, except in VERY rare occasions which will be noted. If you are not attending all days of the convention it is wise to wait until specific days of appearance are announced before purchasing autographs or photo ops. You must have an admission ticket to the convention to get autographs or photo ops.
