Orlando, Florida is being taken over by Zombies and freaks in an ultimate weekend of horrors on October 8-10th 2010.  It's a weekend of fun and screams and many surprises. From meeting the original Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street to being strangled by Jason from Friday the 13th or being vamped by the real Elvira, so many things are happening there on that weekend that there is just no way  to do it all.  Meeting celebrities is only one of the horrific things that you can do inside those doors. A full list of the events is not available but here is an overview of things that lurk behind those convention doors.
