2017 will be our third HorrorConUK and we are already looking forward to the event. It has got better year on year and it was wonderful to begin with! This event is one of our favourites. Always fun, interesting and little scary with the most amazing crowd of lovely people, including fantastic cosplayers who bring the days alive. As traders we had a ball, with a great atmosphere created and maintained by the organisers and staff who could not be more helpful. It is one of the very best and we highly recommend this event/experience to everyone.

HorrorConUK is my guilty pleasure event of the year, with so much to see, a chance to meet your favourite icons, mouth watering merchandise stalls and well… me darlings!!!

HorrorConUK has fast become the essential event for all fans of the genre, unmissable!

Having been invited to a number of shows across the UK and Europe, I must say that HorrorConUK is the best organised. The organisers really understand what makes the horror community tick

It’s packed with walkers, stalkers and wandering, silent serial killers. I’m talking HorrorConUK, people, where Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers can be found rubbing shoulders with Leatherface and his clan. There are real people, too, all soaking up the unique vibe of an event that’s about being a fan and meeting your heroes. HorrorConUK is a terrific celebration of all things horror – movies, books, TV and more. It attracts great guests, the access is fabulous and, importantly, it’s not over-priced. Get along and have some good ol’ gory fun.’

It was a fantastic convention. My first HorrorConUK but certainly not my last. I visited on Saturday with my partner and we both had a great time. The atmosphere was good, venue was spot on, Q and A guy was awesome and the staff were amazing. I was early bird and whilst waiting in the queue a member of staff came to check we were in the correct line. A person behind me had a partially blind stick and said he has a normal ticket and thought he was in the right queue. Instead of making him move to the back of the other line the staff took him to the front and let him in early to help him. This sort of kindness you don’t always see. Looking forward to next year.
We loved meeting you all, met some amazing people and had such a laugh doing so! The costumes were amazing! We didn’t know were to look, the staff were all so welcoming! All the snakes and reptiles came home for a long rest and thank you all for your lovely donations all our creatures’ thank you for their dinner! And hope we helped people learn about the snakes and tarantulas and helped them get over their fears although I’m still on edge with clowns!
Had a wonderful time. The queues for autographs were handled superbly and the event was far superior to last year. My only slight (and I mean slight) was the Q&A talks were too short. I could have listened to Doug Bradley all afternoon.
What a wonderful day we had! I really loved HorrorConUK 2015 but this year was even better. The schedule worked very well for us, we had a busy day but lots of fun. Everyone so friendly and happy to chat it was such a nice environment. I can’t wait for next year! Can’t wait for next year’s guest announcements! Thank you all so much for all your efforts and for getting the awesome Kane Hodder over – he was a lot of fun.
Cannot wait for next year’s looking forward to it already had a fab time and costumes were amazing well done to ppl that won. The 2 werewolves were fantastic. Also the ppl behind the masks of Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers were brilliant and stayed in character the whole weekend. Well done to them 2 they were my fave’s. See you next year…
I had a great time on Saturday. Thanks to everyone involved in organising and running the event. I was particularly impressed by the talk’s hall. Tiered seating is such a luxury at conventions – it happens so rarely, yet it makes the world of difference to attendees. If you do it all again next year, please stick with this set up. It’s really appreciated. Felt very classy. Nice venue all round, I thought.
Well, after 30 years of doing shows (for me) longer for the rest of the guys((old b*stards) that was the best show environment ever. The nicest people go to Horror Conventions, really, it made me write this. plus those OTHER ppl Tom Savini, Gunnar Hansen, Ken Foree, Bill Moseley AND all the rest made it very special.
