The veil thins in St. Augustine this October as Scream City Con returns to the Renaissance Resort for a weekend steeped in horror and dark delight. Fans of fright will gather among fellow creatures of the night for panels, guests, and eerie treasures that celebrate the strange and the beautiful.
Orlando is about to get delightfully dark with Vampire Fan Weekend on October 25–26, 2025. Meet stars from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, connect with local horror and dark fantasy author Maria DeVivo, enjoy panels, photo sessions, and VIP experiences, and immerse yourself in a weekend full of gothic charm and fan magic.
My fellow creatures of the night, the convention formerly known as Spookala has shed its old skin and emerged as something darker, something better. Prepare yourself for Scaradise, and trust me when I say this first incarnation is going to be absolutely wicked.
