We would like to thank everyone for this past weekend!! We are completely overwhelmed with how incredible everything was. To see everyone having such an amazing time and to see all the photos, comments, and posts from all corners of the show is awesome as we get to see aspects of the show through your eyes that we may have (*ahem* definitely) missed in our running around. Not to mention all of the personal messages from old and new friends telling us about how much fun they had and how they could not wait for the next event. The atmosphere felt electric because of how much fun everyone was having! I (Craig) cannot tell you how many celebrities and agents told me about how amazing you all are and complimented me on how happy everyone was at the convention.
We would like to thank:
All of our friends and family that made everything run smoothly and no matter what happened were always willing to give more and do so with a smile, even Sunday evening when we had to lock eyes and ask for "one more favor" the request was met with a smile and enthusiasm. This event could not have happened and would not be the same without you. Your patience and creativity make this show what it is, and it is such an honor to have our characters immortalized in tattoos and cosplays - we feel this year that we've now created something bigger than ourselves - and our hearts are full.
Our photographers, Patrice and Manny with Indulge Images, who used their skills to make those incredible greenscreen backdrops for the photo ops and are always willing to roll with whatever props and scenes we want to incorporate for our guests. You always make our photo op dreams come true!
A big thanks to The Sipes, Vinnie & Family, Ethan, Nikki, and everyone who helped to make sure that the photo ops were on time and to handle the lines which got quite lengthy at times.
A huge thanks to Josh, Ethan, and my Brother Adam for all their help with making sure that the panel discussions and movies with Live Commentary went according to schedule
Blasia, Lauren, and the T-Shirt crew: the show experience truly starts at the front desk - thank you for taking the time to organize and label our mess, lol, and for making the ticket booth a warm welcome for incoming guests. Sandy and I are so grateful for your kindness and professionalism when we have to "be right back" lol and we know that we're leaving a well-oiled machine.
Hillary, Gus, Aaron, Thomas, Greg, Lauren, and Jen for all your help with transporting the celebrities and making sure that everyone got from and back to the airport safely
Jen Peacey for making Ms. Shiina feel so comfortable on the other side of the world with your excellent translation skills and giving Ms. Shiina an amazing Gettysburg experience. She loved the tea you brought her and was absolutely glowing the whole weekend - we give most of the credit to you - and the rest to the fans for making her feel so welcome and special for her first convention in so long.
Mike & Tom for making your Necronomnomnom recipes go from page to plate for a truly magical VIP experience with their amazing food and beverages Friday, Phil & Caroline for taking on the ask of *3* events over the weekend and making each party unique with colorful concoctions that brought the show to our tastebuds.
My wife, Sandy, for undertaking her first catering gig, lol
Brandon Salisbury for bringing such an unforgettable experience for Resident Evil Fans on the 30th Anniversary Celebration. It was a truly memorable event never would have happened if it wasn't for you. Thank you for initiating and making sure that such an amazing gathering happened for this momentous occassion and making sure that we were the convention that hosted it

Thank you to Jeff Whitmire and Aurelio Voltaire who made the concert and VIP room an event to remember!
Logan Wood and Company for the unbeatable sound and light equipment brought in for the VIP Dinner, Movie Theater, Paint Nite, and Concert. Excellent as always and ready with a quick answer to keep the show running smoothly. The blacklights for the paint nite were amazing!!
To Dan the theater manager and the crew at the R/C Gateway Gettysburg whose "Yes, and..." attitude always brings our collaboration with the theater to the highest tier and their unwavering professionalism in maintaining our increasingly tight schedule.
To the food trucks that provided a great variety of food that kept us full and happy - everyone was singing your praises with quick service and amazing flavors to fuel everyone's experience.
To Jason Seaux and Jeremy Ruby for their work to bring our Wine and Paint Night to life. Quinn Lord had a blast painting with everyone and he even said it was incredibly fun!! It was so sweet of you guys to think of having prints signed for the Scares That Care auction, and the raffle to our lucky paint night participant! You bring so many great ideas to our event!
To the Wyndham Staff who kept up with the crowd and always greeted people with a smile and a solution when we needed them. Also for the bartenders and cooks at the Wyndham and how they were able to keep the food & drinks flowing for karaoke and the creative drinks that are spun for us every year. The slushies were a huge hit - especially the mudslides!!
Dustin with Adventures in Fun for the stunning Resident Evil scape and being willing to move it into the VIP room for the Resident Evil VIP party! Also having a larger than life Toxie and "Sam" from Trick R Treat. So many great selfies came from your creations and everyone LOVED all of the sculptures!! Your art has added so much to the atmosphere of the show and you never fail to amaze us!
To Stephani from Scares That Care for making the long drive to make our nights relaxed and fun with the best Karaoke around!
Thank you to all the vendors (New and Returning) and their amazing merchandise and artistry. You truly are the best in the business!
To our celebrities who took time out of their busy schedules and were willing to go outside their comfort zones to bring live commentaries, In-Costumes, and performances to Creature Feature Weekend. Your willingness makes our show the once-in-a-lifetime experience we strive for and we couldn't do it without you!
Mostly we want to thank everyone in attendance. The joy in the air was so thick it was almost tangible. You made this more than a convention. You made this a hangout, a place to gather, and above all a community. Your love and appreciation was heard and felt, and we cannot wait to get started on the next convention. We appreciate you all more than you will ever know.
Thank you EVERYONE!!!
Love, Craig and Sandy Yastrzemski
