Buddy the cat is absolutely stunned at the amount that was raised at CT HorrorFest for at Animals for Life. Thanks to you all we raised $3647 that goes directly to the care of the animals at the shelter.

Congratulations to the winner, Nur from Prospect!

What a great weekend! A massive thank you to every single person who came out to CT HorrorFest 2026. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate our horror community.
A massive thanks to the celebs, reps, and of course our amazing vendors. As usual, Rob and Christine would like to give the most heartfelt thanks to our crew. The event doesn’t happen without a great team behind it. We’re incredibly grateful to be surrounded by such awesome people.

We’ve noticed that we have many new ticket buyers attending the event this year. To help make sure everyone has a great experience, we’ve put together this quick SURVIVAL GUIDE for first-time attendees!

1. Arrive early for popular celebrities.
If you’re coming to meet a very popular celebrity, chances are you won’t be the only one! We strongly recommend arriving early and getting in line. The show opens at 10:00 AM on Saturday, but we’ve seen some very dedicated fans start lining up as early as 8:30 AM to be among the first in line. If you arrive at 10:00 AM expecting to be first for a highly sought-after celebrity, you may be in for a surprise!

2. There might be a wait to meet a certain celebrity.
This goes hand-in-hand with the first tip. If the celebrity you want to meet is extremely popular, expect that there may be a significant wait. Bring your patience and enjoy the experience!

3. Take time to enjoy the entire show.
We hope you’ll enjoy more than just the celebrity guests. We have many amazing vendors offering all kinds of great merchandise and collectibles, so be sure to take some time to explore the show floor and see what they have to offer.

4. Check out the panels and activities.
If you need a break from the crowds, get tired, or simply want something else to do, head over to our panel area. You’ll find fun and informative Q&As with celebrities, costume contests, and other great activities throughout the day.

5. Eat and stay hydrated!
We don’t want anyone passing out, so please make sure you eat and drink throughout the day. The hotel will have food and beverages available for purchase.

6. Keep an eye on the photo op schedule.
Photo op times can change as additional sessions are added throughout the day. Please keep the photo op schedule link from our website handy and check it regularly so you know exactly when and where you need to be.

7. Don’t hesitate to ask for help.
If you have a question or need assistance with anything while you’re at the show, please find one of our staff members. We’ll all be wearing badges so you can easily identify us.

8. Most importantly, come ready to have fun!
This show isn’t run by a corporation—it’s put together by horror fans who have day jobs and absolutely LOVE this genre. We’re passionate about creating a place where fellow fans can come together, meet their favorite celebrities, discover cool merchandise, and have a great time.

We ask everyone to treat fellow attendees, guests, vendors, and staff with respect. We will not tolerate rude or disrespectful behavior toward other attendees.

Come with a smile, bring a great attitude, and be ready to have an awesome time. We’re excited to see you at the show!
