​

​​

​

IS THE EVENT APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS?

YES! But it also depends on your spawn. The market does feature monsters walking around acting spooky and all of our our vendors sell horror-related merchandise that may be upsetting for some kids (and some adults). Parental discretion is advised. If you and your kids like Halloween, visiting the market should be okay. Parents must keep kids in their presence at all times. Kids 12 and under are free.

​

There are several attractions for kids at the market so the whole family can join in the fun. See ATTRACTIONS for more info.​

 

​

HOW DO I BUY TICKETS? DO YOU EXCEPT CASH AND CARD?

DOOR: Tickets can be purchased with cash or card at the door.

PRESALE/ONLINE: Presale tickets can be purchased on this website (card, PayPal & Venmo) and are recommended for faster entry. Online ticket sales end on Dec. 5th at midnight. After this time, you can buy tickets at the door.

​​

​

CAN I GET A REFUND?

No refunds are given for tickets or vendor spaces unless the event itself is cancelled.​

​

​

HOW DO I MEET THE SPECIAL GUESTS?

Our special guests are located next to the stage. The guests will be offering autographs, photos and (sometimes) merch for a cost. The guests determine the amounts they charge and HFTH has no control on their prices. We are also not always informed of their prices before the show. If a guest shares that info with us before the show, we will post it. Regardless, they will also have their costs displayed at their table. In order to meet the guests, you will need to stand in line and most likely have to purchase one of their items. Autographs and photographs can range depending on the guest. A good estimate would be $20-80 for an autograph or photo. Most guests will offer a deal for both. But again, we are not in control of their policies and pricing.

​

​

WHAT IF THERE IS A LONG LINE FOR THE GUESTS?

In the event a guest gets a long line, we will be implementing a numbering system where attendees can get a group number and time to come back in line. The staff in the guest area will give attendees all of details on how that works.

​

​

IS THERE A CHANCE THAT I WON'T  BE ABLE TO MEET A GUEST? 

Each guest varies on how much time they spend talking with a fan so this can impact how many people they can see in a day. All of our guests are attending the entire weekend except for lunches and occasional breaks. Your best bet to meet a guest is to purchase a VIP or Fast Pass ticket to improve your chances of getting to meet them. VIP and Fast Pass ticket sales will be announced.

​

​

DO THE GUESTS ACCEPT CASH OR CARD?

This is decided by the guests themselves. Most accept both. Some only accept cash. It's always a good idea to have some cash on hand. There are ATMs located in the lobbies of the venue.

​​

​

DOES IT COST TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH EVIL SANTA?

Yes. Our professional photographer offers photos with Evil Santa: Digital hi-res photos for $10 and 8x10 prints for $20. Digital photos will be uploaded to an online gallery for download. Prints made onsite. 2025 Prices subject to change.​

DO YOU WELCOME COSPLAYERS?
