Werewolf or something similar! Among the creatues from Netherworld Haunted House.
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:
In 2019 my wife Anne and I attended our very first Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the longest-running science fiction conventions in America. We once again made the eight-hour drive from Indianapolis and returned for our fourth nonconsecutive Labor Day weekend at that amazing colossal southern spectacle. We can’t conscientiously afford to do D*C every year, but we’ll see how long we can keep up an every-other year schedule before we’re too old or overwhelmed to handle it…
Our belated coverage of Atlanta’s annual Dragon Con Cosplay Parade continues! We amateur enthusiasts took way too many photos that took me too long to sort in between juggling other life aspects (my day job, my streaming stories, and so forth). Rather than continuing to fussily sort them into themed galleries (except for this one being mostly horror, but not just horror), let’s plow through the rest and get these out into the world in case any attendees are still Googling themselves two weeks after showtime. Please let me know if we old folks misidentified any characters. Enjoy again!
D*C’s official horror costume group.
The Bride! Jaws! Zombies! And so on.
Leatherface and Lydia Deetz.
The hitchhiker from Creepshow 2. (“THANKS FOR THE RIDE, LADY!”)
A Bioshock Splicer and Stranger Things‘ Demogorgon, whose Jane Fonda workout tapes are really paying off.
More Stranger Things fun with Eleven, Barb, Steve, and possibly Sheriff Hopper on his day off.
Eddie Munson from same, wielding my old AD&D manuals.
Stranger still: another Demogorgon, Vecna, and another Eddie Munson.
Emily, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride.
Once again Netherworld Haunted House out of nearby Stone Mountain brought their Halloween troupe.
Netherworld spooks from beyond the stars!
Netherworld equal-opportunity tag-team SLAUGHTER.
We always find a few “cosplay stumpers” that I feel I should recognize but don’t. An Ed Gein superfan, perchance?
A bit more recognizable: Ghostbusters!
More Ghostbusters!
I don’t normally post this many Ghostbusters, but they just kept acknowledging our existence! That goes a long way with me.
Slimer!
Sheriff Woody, Jessie and Bo Peep, with Deadpool’s multiverse hot on their heels.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ pal Casey Jones.
Indiana Jones! (No relation. Unless there’s a fanfic for that.)
Rick O’Connell, hero of The Mummy trilogy — one of several members of the Loyal Order of the Ribbon.
The Loyal Order of the Ribbon gave Anne a tiny badge ribbon!
This pirate’s ARRRR stands for “ribbon”!
Today’s pirates prefer badge ribbons because they’re much lighter than doubloons. Have you ever tried dangling dozens of doubloons from your neck?
