We’re still about 170 days away from Halloween, but that’s not stopping St. Petersburg from hosting a horror con.
Sunshine City Scare organizers say their event—which celebrates anime horror and video game horror as well as horror in TV & movies—is a new breed of scare con. The big theme centers around the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” video game and movie, but activations include a signing by “Monster High” doll creator Garrett Sander, cosplayers (King River Glass, Cassandra Cosplays, more), contests, workshops, panels, plus after-hours adults-only programming on Saturday.
And, yes, moms get in free on Sunday if they’re accompanied by a ticketed adult or child.
Tickets for Sunshine City Scare happening Saturday-Sunday, May 11-12 at the St. Pete Coliseum start at $15.
