Crypticon Seattle: Where Horror and Heartbeat Collide!

Unveiling the Enigma: Crypticon Seattle Revealed!

🌟 What Is Crypticon Seattle? 🌟

Imagine a twilight realm where shadows dance, and the macabre whispers secrets. Welcome to Crypticon Seattle, the ultimate horror convention that beckons fans from crypts and catacombs across the Pacific Northwest. Here, the eerie meets the extraordinary, and the undead rub shoulders with the undead-curious.

Crypticon dates are May 3-5, 2024, Friday 4-8 pm, Saturday 11-7 pm, and Sunday 11 - 5 pm.

Location: Where the Fog Clings to the Emerald City

Seattle, with its rain-soaked streets and mist-kissed skyline, becomes our haunted playground. The DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport transforms into a portal where vampires, werewolves, and cinephiles gather. Imagine dimly lit corridors, flickering candles, and echoes of “boo.”

Early Days: A Coffin of Creativity

Crypticon Seattle emerged from the crypts in 2010, like a revenant rising from the grave. A motley crew of horror aficionados—part filmmakers, part scream queens—gathered in a candlelit basement. Their mission? To create a haven where terror, fandom, and fake blood could flow freely.
