Gather your black lace and dark lipstick, because Vampire Fan Weekend is descending into Orlando on October 25–26, 2025 at the Doubletree by Hilton Orlando Hotel. As someone who’s tread the halls of countless conventions, I can tell you this one’s worth your time.
Among the stars of the event — like Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Candice King and Kat Graham — you’ll also have the chance to meet Orlando‑area horror & dark fantasy author Maria DeVivo. She weaves twisted worlds of witches, undead, and dark magic. She will be on site, meeting fans of her books and sharing her passion for the shadowy side of storytelling.
Expect photo sessions, autograph signings, celebrity panels, and VIP experiences like exclusive dinners and meet‑and‑greets. For lovers of the darker aesthetic, seeing a local author whose pen bleeds midnight alongside your favorite vampire‑television cast is a rare treat.
The venue is conveniently located near Universal Studios Orlando, so you can stretch this into a full weekend escape from the usual sunshine and sandals. So come for celebrity the encounters, author chats, or simply to soak in that midnight‑tinged fandom atmosphere — this is your haunt.
Tickets are selling now for general admission and VIP upgrades. Don’t wait too long—this weekend promises to be a deliciously dark slice of fandom, Florida style.

Rotting in Florida. I game, watch horror movies, and scream at idiots who split up in haunted houses. If your story doesn’t ruin my sleep, don’t bother.
