Halloween Weekend Belongs to Spooky Empire
10SHARESMy darlings, Spooky Empire descends upon the Hyatt Regency Orlando October 31 through November 2, 2025, claiming Halloween weekend as it should.
Three nights of darkness await at one of the most beloved gatherings in the horror community. The convention brings together celebrity guests for photo opportunities and autograph sessions, film screenings that celebrate both new and classic horror, and exhibitors offering treasures you simply must see to appreciate.
The tattoo festival runs throughout the weekend, with artists transforming skin into beautiful darkness. Special FX classes and demonstrations reveal the secrets behind creating those delicious wounds and grotesque transformations we adore. Watch the masters work their craft or learn techniques to enhance your own creations.
Live performances punctuate the weekend, adding music and entertainment between all the other wickedness. The zombie walk lets us embrace our undead nature and take to the streets in proper fashion. Costume contests reward those who’ve poured their souls into becoming someone, or something, else entirely.
The film festival screens throughout, showcasing independent horror alongside beloved classics. Panel discussions bring together filmmakers, writers, and creators who understand that horror is art, not just entertainment.
VIP passes grant early access each day, giving you first opportunity to claim what catches your eye before the masses descend. Special hotel rates await at the Hyatt Regency for those booking through Spooky Empire.
Tickets are available now for individual days or the full weekend experience. This is where the horror community gathers each fall to celebrate what we love, surrounded by kindred spirits who understand why we’re drawn to the darkness.
Hyatt Regency Orlando, October 31-November 2. Halloween weekend as it was meant to be spent.
