THE PEOPLE’S PHANTOM CHOICE COSPLAY CONTEST

Sunday, October 5, at 3 PM on the Cosplay Red Carpet

The ghosts don't call the shots—the crowd does. The People’s Phantom Choice is a cosplay contest packed with spooky categories like Creepiest Creation, Cutest Corpse, and Most Likely to Haunt the Hallway. No judges, just fan energy deciding who takes the crown.

SILVER SCREAM ACTIVITY ROOM

Open all weekend in Jr Ballroom C

Silver Scream is where the creepy and the campy collide. Classic monsters lurk around photo ops, ghosts beg to be busted, and the whole room hums with horror-themed games and ghoulish surprises. It’s a fright-friendly hangout for fans of every age.

Potion Making

Sunday, October 5, at 12:15 PM in The Backlot Den (Jr. Ballroom D)

Conjure something colorful at our Potion Making station. Choose your vessel, layer your ingredients, and design a mystical masterpiece to take home. It’s part crafting, part spellwork, and all good vibes.

Potions are decorative only, non-potable, and available while supplies last.

COSPLAY MEETUPS
