The Illinois Horror Movie Festival is almost here!
October 2nd & 3rd at the Carroll County Fairgrounds in Milledgeville, Illinois, we're bringing you more than just another horror convention. This is a full-blown Halloween celebration. Horror movies. Live music. Comic books. Cosplay. Spooky vendors. Outdoor movies. Special guests. Family fun. Everything we love about the Halloween season, all packed into one unforgettable weekend.
And here's the best part... we're building this for the fans.
We know times are tough, and not everyone has hundreds of dollars to spend at conventions. That's why we're keeping things simple. No parking fees. No surprise charges around every corner. Your ticket gets you into the experience. Bring a lawn chair, grab a drink, meet fellow horror fans, and help us create a Halloween tradition that Northwestern Illinois can be proud of for years to come.
All month long, Weekend VIP Passes are BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE with promo code VIPBOGO.
Starting tomorrow evening, stop by the Refinery Films booth at the Carroll County Fairgrounds. We'll have discounted passes available, we'll answer your questions, and we'd love to tell you everything we've got planned for this inaugural year.
We'll also be hitting local radio stations throughout August to spread the word and get everyone excited for opening weekend.
Come celebrate Halloween with us.
See everything that's happening and grab your tickets at IllinoisHorrorMovieFestival.com.
And if you've already bought a VIP pass for the weekend.. you're automatically grandfathered in for a second free VIP pass! That's right! You can claim that pass at the gate.. or you can email us in advance and we will send you a copy of your secondary VIP pass for the weekend!
See you little monsters there!
