For a decade now, HorrorCon UK has been bringing together horror fans from all walks of life, creating an unforgettable experience. What started as a passionate gathering has grown into one of the UK’s premier horror conventions, a place where fans, creators, and legends of the genre unite.
What to Expect at HorrorCon UK
HorrorCon UK is more than just a convention—it’s an immersive experience. Attendees can look forward to exclusive panels, Q&A sessions, autograph signings, and merchandise stalls packed with horror collectibles.
A Northern Home for Horror
Located in Sheffield, HorrorCon UK has been a dream come true for northern horror fans, offering easy access to an event of this scale without the need to travel to London. The convention has become a staple in the horror calendar, providing a welcoming and electrifying atmosphere for both newcomers and seasoned attendees.
Legendary Guests Over the Years
Over the past ten years, HorrorCon UK has played host to some of the biggest names in the horror industry. From beloved actors to legendary special effects artists, the guest list has been nothing short of spectacular. Some standout names include:
- Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz)
- Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Halloween)
- Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th series, Hatchet)
- Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark)
- Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects)
- Gunnar Hansen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
Special Talks and Panels
One of the highlights of HorrorCon UK is the lineup of special talks and panels. Over the years, fans have had the chance to hear firsthand stories from horror legends, learn about the craft of practical effects, and delve into the psychology of horror films. Past panels have featured discussions on horror makeup, stunt work in slasher films, and deep dives into cult classics with the actors who made them famous.
Our Journey with HorrorCon UK
We first set up our stand at HorrorCon UK in 2017, and it was a game-changer for us. The opportunity to meet so many of our online customers face-to-face was invaluable. Seeing the passion and excitement of fellow horror fans firsthand was an experience like no other, and it reinforced just how strong and dedicated the horror community truly is.
Since then, we’ve returned year after year, growing alongside the convention. Our stand has evolved, becoming bigger and better with each passing year, much like HorrorCon UK itself. Last year’s setup was our best yet, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds.
Looking to the Future
As HorrorCon UK celebrates its 10-year milestone, we look forward to many more years of terrifyingly good fun. Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or new to the scene, this convention continues to be an incredible gathering place for all things spooky.
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to attend this year, but we’re still proud sponsors and already looking forward to making our return in the future. Here’s to another decade of screams, scares, and memories!
