Who will be there?

Since the event is in October and it's only June, I can imagine they're still going to be adding more to the lineup, but it's already jam packed! The lineup boasts actors from movies like Friday the 13th Part III, The Return of the Living Dead (one of my favorite horror movie soundtracks of all time), Nightmare on Elm Street 4, and more! Plus Ghost Hunters TAPS will be there, you know the crew from the show?! Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango, and Shari DeBenedetti will all be there.
