A couple months back, we reported on plans shaping up for a brand new horror convention taking place in Northern California this October. Sinister Creature Con is a 2-day event being held at the Scottish Rite Center in Sacramento. We at The Blood Shed are proud to announce that we are an official sponsor of this event!
From Sinister Creature Con’s Official Website:
Quakes ripple around the known universe as a new convention beast breaches through the Earth’s surface. THE SINISTER CREATURE CON announces its presence from the primal depths of our humanity with volcanic might and jubilant fanfare. Located in Sacramento, California, THE SINISTER CREATURE CON’s expansive tentacles ensnare a massive array of horror genre craftsmen and craftswomen that give monsters and the genre its tangible essence, such as painters, filmmakers, sculptors, tattoo artists, comic book artists, graphic designers, practical fx companies, actors, writers, haunted attraction engineers, and much more. So come one and come all to the belly of this new convention beast and learn how your fears are imagined so you may celebrate in the conquering of them.
Sinister Creature Con is a horror convention unlike any other. We celebrate both the past and present. From the nostalgic to the contemporary we celebrate it all and have something for every horror artist and fan alike. Above all we strive to serve and promote the art and artists. Come, be inspired, create, and scare us. We invite you to Northern California’s Horror Convention, Sinister Creature Con.

Sinister Crearure Con Co-Founder and Convention Director Tim Meunier is no stranger to the horror community, having founded the successful annual Sacramento Horror Film Festival in 2007. While he has been peripherally involved in convention planning in the past, Meunier was only willing to helm Sinister Creature Con under certain conditions:
Meunier: When I was approached to partner for this convention, I said I would only do it if it was an event that celebrated the art and artists. This is the same motivation that drives my other event, The Sacramento Horror Film Festival. With a goal of 80% artists to 20% vendors, I wish to make it evident that once attendees step through the convention halls that this event is art-focused. No flea market style vendors. No halls full of celebrities that have done nothing of note for 30 years. Instead, attendees can expect: Live makeup demos, workshops, tattoos by the industry’s top talent, live painting, costume and character makeup competitions, and tributes to the core inspiration of the event- creature feature and horror films. Best of all, Sinister Creature Con will be priced around the $20 marker to start for both days, giving attendees more cash in their pocket to shop the halls.
