Oz Horror Fest

Overview

Are you scared of the dark? How about spiders? Or zombies? All your fears will come to life at the Oz Horror Con '13, Australia’s biggest event dedicated solely to making people cry with fear. Meet your favourite horror authors, including Wolf Creek II author Aaron Sterns, and silver screen actors such as PJ Soles of Carrie fame.

See demonstrations of practical and special effects and facemeltingly realistic prosthetics. There’s a cosplay competition for those adept at sewing, and zombies wandering the halls of the convention. To cap it all off, there's the terrifying prospect of a presentation and workshop by the Australian Paranormal Society, dedicated by their own admission to "serious research". If you've seen aliens (or witches, ghosts, ectoplasm dripping from the walls, etc.) these are the people to compare notes with. Just don’t scream too loudly.
