Ki ki ki…..ma ma ma…….Today is Friday the 13th and it’s the birthday of a very special boy. He’s such a good boy, always does just what mommy says. Maybe you know him? In celebration of “National Hockey Mask and Machete Awareness Day” the folks at Spooky Empire have released details on their guests for their Ultimate Horror Weekend, for the first time ever at a brand new venue.
Since the event’s inception, Spooky Empire has been held at the Wyndham Orlando on International Drive. The property has been sold, and will soon be repurposed. This left a huge problem for Spooky Empire, the annual event was always a huge hit, mostly because of the location. This year the event has found a new home, and not very far from the the old home. The Orlando Hilton, just off of International Drive on Destination Parkway. It will play host to the Ultimate Horror Weekend which is three days of mischief, macabre, and mayhem. It’s also one of the largest horror conventions in the world, with guests from aspect of the horror genre.
