CreepIECon V returns to haunt the Inland Empire and bedevil attendees…
Fright Nights and Demonic Days I’ve been attending Ontario California’s CreepIECon horror convention since it first arrived at the Ontario Convention Center in February of 2022.

Halloween in Septober: “CreepIE Aftermath 2025” haunts the Inland Empire…
Septober is here! Anyone else feeling Halloween vibes earlier than usual this year? Maybe it’s due to the onslaught of Halloween product flooding retailers as early as late July this year (!).

Debuting in February of 2022 and returning in February and September of 2023, the Inland Empire’s largest, steadiest and now bi-annual horror convention just gets bigger and bigger with each outing. I’ve covered the previous three CreepIECons for this site, and I bought my weekend pass for CreepIECon Returns, which has now expanded into a three-day event;…
Son of CreepIECon! “CreepIE Aftermath” returns to bedevil the Inland Empire a second time this year……
Son of CreepIECon… Debuting in February of 2022 and returning in February of this year, the Inland Empire’s current biggest and steadiest horror convention gains more notice and attendees with each outing. I’ve covered the previous two CreepIECons for this site, and I was more than happy to do so again for an unexpected second…
Recurring Nightmare; CreepIECon Returns to the Inland Empire for 2023…
The Growing Horror… Last year, the city of Ontario, California hosted a horror-themed convention in February called “CreepIECon”, which was successful enough in its freshman year to take another stab at it in 2023. Having just returned from CreepIECon 2023 earlier today, it’s safe to say that by attendance alone, the convention has grown significantly…
