HorrorHound Weekend struck fear into the heart of the Sharonville Convention Center this past weekend thanks to all the talented filmmakers, actors and fans that attended.

HorrorHound is both a magazine devoted to the horror genre and the host of a series of regional conventions that bring in celebrities and pop culture icons from both new and classic scary movies. HorrorHound Weekend included film screenings, panel discussions, costume contests, meet-and-greets, photo ops and plenty of cosplay.
