You might've heard us talking about Evansville Raptor Con, and wondered 'What in the world is a Raptor Con?' It's not a convention for dinosaurs, Rusty Raptor is the mascot, and the name sets this event apart from other comic-type cons in the Tri-State.

What is Raptor Con?

Raptor Con is Evansville's Coolest Pop Culture Comic Convention. You'll have the opportunity to meet some freaking awesome celebrities (Listed below), Cosplay contests, Workshops, and panels.

"A comic-con is a convention (con, for short) focused on comic books and related forms of pop culture entertainment, including movies, TV shows, and video games."

One of a Kind Fan Experiences

Your admission ticket gives you access to the celebrity area. Each one will be signing autographs and taking selfies. Just know that the celebs set the prices for those. Most of the time they are cash only.

  • Interview Panels: Each celebrity will host a panel and a moderator will ask questions and those usually generate some cool stories. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions too! That is also included in your general admission ticket. VIP ticket holders have reserved seating.

  • Professional Photos: These are scheduled at specific times throughout the event. Unlike the selfie at the celebrity's table, these photos are taken by a professional photographer with high-quality lighting and setup and printed on-site for you with pro photo equipment. You walk away with an 8x10 photo in hand.
     Exclusive cast group shots (Hocus Pocus Cast / Revenge of the Nerds Cast) can only be captured during pro photo ops. This is your chance to get a once-in-a-lifetime photo with the whole cast!  Purchase your pro photo ops ahead of time online

Celebrities Scheduled to Appear: Sean Gunn, Ben Savage, Jim Cummings, Raushan Hammond, Revenge of The Nerds Reunion with Robert Carradine, Curtis Armstrong, Brian Tochi, Hocus Pocus Reunion with Omri Katz, Vinessa Shaw, and Thora Birch.

LOOKS: Things you'd likely see in an awesomely '80s garage

From scandalous bikini calendars to your dad's AMC Gremlin, '80s garages were a treasure trove of adventure, good fun, and sometimes downright danger.
