Monsters & Mayhem in Sacramento

Sinister Creature Con Takes Over Sacramento

Halloween’s coming early—and it’s not sneaking in quietly. Sinister Halloween Con returns to the Scottish Rite Center (Sacramento) on October 18–19, 2025, unleashing a full weekend of horror icons, twisted vendors, delicious food trucks, live panels, cosplay, FX make-up demos, and wall-to-wall spooky energy. If your calendar has cobwebs and your heart beats in 4/4 slasher time, this is your pilgrimage.

Why it’s unmissable:

• Horror royalty on deck. Featured guests include Pam Grier, Andy Black (Black Veil Brides), Adrienne King (Friday the 13th), Amy Steele (Friday the 13th Pt. 2), The Grimm Life Collective, Brian Krausse (*Sleepwalkers, Charmed), Lynnn McKree (Scream 3), and Yosan An (Heart Eyes).
• Artists who thrill. Catch work from Dan Acosta, Tosh, Lil Sicx, Joshua Millican, and Rain Williamson.
• Cosplay + FX central. From prosthetics to paint jobs, the make-up demos and costumed chaos turn the floor into a living, screaming gallery.
• 
  

Sinister Creature Con between panel deep dives and vendor treasure hunts (creepy collectibles galore), refuel at the food trucks, then sprint back inside for another dose of monster fellowship. It’s more than a con—it’s a gathering of the strange, the spooky, and the spectacular.
