Spooky Empire is one of our city’s many annual “cons,” large gatherings of people who all love one topic. This one is for people who love horror movies. Get yourself in front of 200 vendors, pay for celebrity meet and greets, watch a costume contest, and watch people get tattoos right on the exhibit floor, that was my favorite part last year. Spooky Empire runs Saturday and Sunday at the Doubletree Hotel at 5790 Major Boulevard. Go to spookyempire.com
And as always, Orlando is wonderful.
