From one Supernatural fan to another, we are deeply sorry to let everyone know that Baby will not be able to make it to Detroit Horror Con today due to a family emergency. sorry to let everyone know that Baby will not be able to make it to Detroit Horror Con today due to a family emergency.

He has NOT disappeared on a hunting trip.
He has NOT been gone for a few days without calling.
And as far as we know, nobody needs to go looking for him.
IYKYK

All jokes aside, family always comes first, and everyone at Detroit Horror Con is sending lots of love and good thoughts their way. We hope everything is okay, and we absolutely cannot wait to see Baby roll up to one of our future events.

DETROIT… YOU READY FOR ROUND TWO?!
Day One was absolutely INSANE — and somehow we’re supposed to behave ourselves again today?!

DAY TWO OF DETROIT HORROR CON IS HERE!
Yesterday we watched this place fill up with horror fans, killer cosplays, packed celebrity lines, vendors, laughs, screams and one seriously bada$$ horror family.

And today? WE DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN… ONLY BIGGER. 😈

If you were here yesterday — Don't forget your badges to get back in. Same rules apply. Bag check and weapons at the last table before the CHAOS returns.

If you missed yesterday — FIX THAT TODAY!!!!
Come meet your favorite horror guests. Hunt down something wicked in the vendor room. Grab those autographs and selfies. Get your professional photo ops. Check out the panels. Show off that cosplay. Make some new horror friends. Or just come wander around with the rest of us weirdos who finally found a building full of our people. 😂🖤

🎟️ TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

Wake up. Grab the horror shirts. Get the caffeine flowing.
DETROIT HORROR CON DAY TWO STARTS TODAY.

LET’S GET WEIRD, DETROIT. 🔪

Your friend has been talking herself out of entering?
