Terror Expo celebrates the stuff of slashers and the supernatural, highlighting horror’s most enduring boogeymen/women, as well as villains from sci-fi and just about any other dark corners of entertainment.

Besides the downright scary array of men and women as Freddy Krueger, several attendees rocked the hockey mask and machete of that towering terror Jason Voorhees from the “Friday the 13th” films. “I think it really shows people the different depths of the genre that you want to represent,” said Jessica Menchaca, who wore the skeletal face paint and festive garb of La Catrina, the Mexican folk art representation of the dead.
