The event is also extremely proud to have featured the rising talents of many Texas "Fright Makers" in screenings, panel discussions and question and answer sessions. The weekend began on a great note coming back after a one-year break due to Covid, the fans, many showing up in cosplay outfits to meet and great their favorite horror stars such as Danny Trejo, Malcolm McDowell, and even Tony Todd. Even the Candy Man himself, careful not to say that out loud three times.
