Speaking to Deadline, film maker and Crypt TV co-creator Eli Roth sounded thrilled about some of their more memorable monsters making their debut at this years event.

“I’ve been going to horror nights for over 20 years now, both as a fan, and even working as a scare performer in the Hostel maze. It’s simply the best live scary event in the world, and we’re so honoured to bring our Crypt creatures there. Our fans have been watching our monsters for years and have been lobbying to see them at Horror Nights, and now they’ll finally get the chance to meet them face to face. There’s nobody better than the team at horror nights, they’re amazing partners and together we’re going to give the horror fans something truly spectacular.”
