The event is the first and largest annual convention in Canada dedicated to all things horror.

There will be over 80 vendors, a horror film festival, panels and celebrity guests.

Some of the guests include Doug Bradley and Ashley Lawrence from Hellraiser, Zach Galligan from Gremlins and John Kassir, the voice of the Cryptkeeper from Tales From the Crypt.

Also appearing is Susan Backlinie from Jaws, John Dugan from Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Eugene “Big Daddy” Clark from Land of the Dead.

Not only are the guests frightfully terrific, but other main features that may send a chill down your spine are the “CarousHELL,” a whacky amusement park ride from America and “Sinister Circle,” a dark tale revolving around an ancient Ouija board.

The convention kicks off at Dickens Pub on June 9 for VIP guests, who will arrive in hearses around 9 p.m. There will be a celebrity meet and greet, a white hat ceremony and live performances including the band Strvngers.

The Calgary Horror Con will run 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
