HorrorHound Weekend: Indianapolis (2013)

Yesterday, I traveled to Indianapolis (for the first time!) to attend my first HorrorHound convention with hopes of meeting The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun, Emily Kinney and Chad Coleman. Steven was only scheduled to appear yesterday because he had to be back in Georgia early morning today for filming, so meeting him was definitely my top priority. Plus, my birthday was Friday, and what better way to celebrate than with my favorite male character from one of my favorite television shows?!

Robert Englund, Freddy Krueger himself, was also in attendance this weekend. The lines for him were certainly long, but well-organized to manage the amount of people, which kind of meant The Walking Dead was not the prime focus at this convention. I only waited an hour - perhaps a tad more - to meet Steven and gain access to the ballroom where they were signing. Once inside, I was able to bounce to Chad's and Emily's tables without having to go to the end of the line each time. Steven was $40 per signature, and while I was anticipating Emily and Chad would be $30, turns out they were $40 each as well (pretty much standard price for most of The Walking Dead cast members these days).

I had each sign my cast poster, now bringing the count to 7 signatures! This was my final convention for 2013, and I cannot wait to start again in March 2014!

 
 
 
While at the convention, I also met Vivica A Fox (of Kill Bill) and Barry Bostwick (of The Rocky Horror Picture Show). Too cool! While this was my first HorrorHound experience, it certainly will not be my last!
