Come for Momoa, stay for some Scariest Things! Here’s the latest from our live event at Wizard World.
You never know, you might just see Miami Man (or is that Aquaman?) wandering the convention floor! OK, probably not, but the Scariest Things will be there in force! We’re just around the corner, and
FRIDAY 6:30-7:15 PM Room B117 (right near the exhibit floor entry):
Mount Rushorror! We’re building a monument to horror movies, and we invite you to pick the icons! Mike and Eric are going to be joined by Portland Horror Trivia Massacre’s Jeff Dean, in nominating our favorite characters from all of Horror Movie History. Jeff is one of those guys who reminds Mike and Eric that we truly are charlatans, as he has forgotten more about horror than the rest of us know, combined!
Here’s Jeff’s gig… which I attend regularly… but not part of the Wiz World.
OK… back to our program! The Scariest Things wanted to memorialize this event by creating something lasting, so we have not one but TWO fabulous comic artists to do illustrations of the Mt. Rushorror monument for us. Check out their work! This is gonna be great!
And the best part? We’re going to give the art away at our next show!

Saturday 6:30-7:15 Room B110 (also near the entry):
Terror from Abroad! Join Eric and Mike as we serve as your tour guides to strange and horrifying places that you probably have never been to! Go on a journey to the deep dark soul of the rest of the world. You may find some hidden gems you weren’t aware of! And, stick around: We’re raffling away the Mt. Rushorror art that was created from our Friday event!
We have a booth!
We will have
Answer Trivia for prizes!
But, I’ll warn you, the questions will get harder, and you’ll need to run a gauntlet of tough questions to get the big prize!
