Tom Owen, Vice President of Networks Strategy at Cineverse and founder of Bloody Disgusting, expressed immense excitement about this partnership. He noted, “For years, Bloody Disgusting has dreamed of creating a convention experience that feels like stepping straight into the heart of horror itself. We needed the right partner to bring that vision to life.” Owen articulated the anticipation surrounding the event, emphasizing the collaborative effort to create an experience that resonates with horror lovers.
