Hey horror fiends, you’re in for a treat. Tampa Bay Screams Horror Con 2025 is roaring back into action, and let me tell ya, this year’s lineup is to die for. Clear your calendar, because on January 19, 2025, the OCC Road House and Museum in Clearwater, Florida is the place to be.
First off, Alan Howarth is gonna tear up the stage with his concert “Dark Matter,” playing all those iconic horror themes that’ll send chills down your spine. We’re talkin’ “Halloween,” “Escape from New York,” “They Live,” and more. The guy’s a legend, a composer who worked with John Carpenter himself. He’s bringing the eerie tunes from flicks like “The Thing” and “Christine” right to your ears.
Now, if you’re a fan of getting the inside scoop on your favorite horror flicks, Jay Dyer’s got you covered. He’s spilling the beans on the “Dark Secrets of Horror Movies” in a special lecture. You can even snag a ticket for an exclusive dinner with Jay – you’ll be chewing on some serious horror knowledge along with your meal.
The convention’s jam-packed with celebrity guests, too. We’ve got Barbara Magnolfi from “Suspiria,” Jack O’Halloran from “Superman,” and Jill Whitlow from “Night of the Creeps,” just to name a few. April Hunter is making an appearance – actress, wrestler, and all-around badass. And don’t miss out on horror host Count Gore De Vol, aka Dick Dyszel, bringing his legendary charm to the event.
Let’s not forget the cult classic director Robert J. Emery, actresses like Denice Duff from “Subspecies,” and Krista Grotte Saxon. There’s even a celebration for Joel D. Wynkoop’s 40-year cult movie anniversary – a guy who’s carved his niche in the B-movie scene.
If you’re a collector, the vendor area’s gonna be crawling with horror memorabilia – DVDs, posters, figures, you name it. You’ll find everything from classic movie merch to exclusive collectibles that’ll make your horror-loving heart race.
So grab your tickets at tampabayscreams.com and don’t miss out. This horror convention’s the perfect gift for yourself or the fellow fright fan in your life. Come out, meet your horror heroes, and bask in the blood-soaked glory of it all. See ya there, if you dare.

My love for heavy metal and horror films runs deep—these genres are practically in my DNA. Friends know me as the go-to guy for everything from crushing guitar riffs to the most bone-chilling horror flicks, and my enthusiasm is contagious. Whether I’m headbanging to the latest metal release or dissecting the creepiest storylines, I’m all in. And, yeah, I’ve got a soft spot for anime too when the mood strikes!
