New Jersey Horror Con & Film Festival will be creeping its way back onto the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk for three terrifying days in March of 2020! Created in 2017 by New Jersey filmmaker and horror fan Ryan Scott Weber along with Comic Book Men's Robert Bruce, New Jersey Horror Con will be bringing it's usual fantastic combination of celebrity guests and independent films to the Showboat Hotel on March 27th, 28th and 29th.
The convention is spread out over the vast space of the Showboat's former casino floor, which makes for a great environment for convention attendees and guests alike. There's enough space for people to check out the amazing vendors, and to meet their favorite genre celebrities without feeling that sense of overcrowding that plagues so many other conventions. It also provides space for photo ops with the many cosplayers who regularly attend the show.
As usual, Weber and his hard working staff have put together an interesting list of guests for fans to meet and greet. Kerri Green ("Goonies", "Summer Rental") will be making a very rare convention appearance at NJ Horror Con. (Please note Kerri will be appearing on Saturday only!) Joining Kerri is fellow "Goonies" alum Ke Huy Quan, who is also well known for playing Short Round in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". The ever popular Danielle Harris ("Halloween 4 & 5", "Urban Legend") is a popular convention guest who will be mixing and mingling with convention attendees for the weekend.
An important note I would like to make is that Ryan always manages to find guests that are not necessarily "regulars" on the convention circuit. A prime example of this is Charlie Sheen, who appeared at the Fall 2019 edition of NJ Horror Con. This time around, the aforementioned Kerri Green and Ke Huy Quan, along with Jill Whitlow and Allan Kayser (both from "Night of the Creeps") are a few of the "rarer" guests that THIS horror fan is looking forward to meeting! BUT WAIT! Dustin Diamond ("Saved by the Bell") is also appearing at the show. Dustin, along with all of the other amazing guests lined up for this show, is sure to bring a smile to the face of many a fan.

Speaking of "The Goonies", in keeping with a NJ Horror Con tradition, there will be some cool photo sets inspired by the guests appearing at the show, one of which is a set inspired by One-Eyed Willies ship from the film! How cool is that?
There will also be some other great photo ops available at the convention, including a Texas Chainsaw Massacre meat hook set, with guests Andrew Bryniarski and Bob Elmore doing their in-costume photo ops on the set! These are the types of unique experiences fans can have at NJ Horror Con.

Finally, as a filmmaker, I cannot stress enough the fact that the name of the convention is New Jersey Horror Con and FILM FESTIVAL. This time around, there's another fantastic batch of independent films being screened at the event, and festival director Tony Goggles works tirelessly to put together these screenings. Not to mention the always fun filmmaker meet and greet and awards ceremony that will take place on Saturday night.
While you're having fun meeting celebrities and getting autographs, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't take some time to check out some of the films.
Celebrity guests, indie horror films, in-costume/on-set photo ops, Scaryoke.....ALL of it can be found at New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival. The Horror Nerd is honored to be invited back as press, and you'll see me prowling the convention, taking pics, doing celebrity interviews and just having a great time. Enjoy the show and be sure to stop me and say hello!
