All guest appearances are tentative and subject to change.

Nov. 29: Tom Savini had to cancel his Chicago Fangoria appearance as he will be working on a project in Texas and his schedule will not allow him to attend.

The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest). Asking for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts (you can do this at photo ops), getting into long personal stories, or worse, is not acceptable for this format and, in fact, is quite self-centered when you are in essence "representing" all of fandom to a celebrity. Join us in trying to make this convention the best entertainment for everyone!

Many of the autographs are included in our Gold and Silver Weekend Packages but if you want more than one signature of a celebrity (or you are not in one of the package deals) you should purchase these autograph tickets.

Note: Patrons must bring an item for celebrities to sign. You can bring something from home or purchase a photo or other collectible in the vendors room. Please feel free to purchase as many autograph tickets of a particular celebrity as you'd like. However, if you purchase 5 or more tickets for an individual celebrity you may be asked to get your signatures at the end of the autograph line. Thanks for understanding.

Note: Guests appear ONE day of the convention, so therefore their autographing and/or photo ops take place that day, except in VERY rare occasions which will be noted. If you are not attending all days of the convention it is wise to wait until specific days of appearance are announced before purchasing autographs or photo ops. You must have an admission ticket to the convention to get autographs or photo ops.

PHOTO OPS

What's a PHOTO OP like? Check out these photo ops where fans got the chance to get a pic with SUPERNATURAL star JARED PADALECKI

The fantastic opportunity to have a full color gorgeous 8 by 10 photograph of yourself with your fave celebrity. An awesome souvenir!
