The "Twin Peaks" convention at Graceland has been moved to Halloween weekend.

The "Twin Peaks 30: Official Fan Celebration" had been set for April 3-5, with most panels, screenings, celebrity meet-and-greets and other happenings set for the Elvis Presley's Memphis entertainment complex across the street from the Graceland mansion.

Now, due to coronavirus worries, the convention will now run Oct. 30 to Nov. 1.

That's an appropriate weekend for an event that unites the legacies of such distinctive American originals as Elvis Presley and David Lynch. (Expect to see dueling pompadours on Halloween when attendees dress as Elvis or Lynch.)

Celebrity guests who were slated to attend included such series regulars as Sherilyn Fenn, Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook, Chrysta Bell, Michael Horse, James Marshall, Kimmy Robertson and Sheryl Lee, who played Laura Palmer, the homecoming queen whose murder motivated the program's original two-season run on ABC, as well as its 1992 spinoff feature film, "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me," and its 18-episode 2017 revival as "Twin Peaks: The Return" on the Showtime cable network.

Graceland public relations specialist Christian Ross said he hopes most of the actors will make it to the rescheduled event. Lynch had not been scheduled to attend the April convention.

"The health and well-being of Graceland guests and staff is our number one priority," Ross said, in a statement, adding that the postponement was "due to recent developments and public safety concerns." The convention is a project of Graceland and Showtime.

Previously purchased tickets will be honored in October. For more information, call 800-238-2000 or visit graceland.com.
