The first ever Aberdeen Horror Con thrilled north-east fans and raised funds for charity.
With horror traders, filmmakers, authors, artists, mind readers, cosplay and more, the city’s first horror convention got everyone in the Halloween spirit.
All proceeds from ticket sales as well as the event’s raffle will go to Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland which supports and helps people with chest, heart and stroke conditions to live life to the full.
Our photographer Kami Thomson attended the event to capture the atmosphere and film fans having a great time at Aberdeen Horror Con.
Scroll down and take a look through our gallery to see if you can spot any familiar faces at the Aberdeen Altens Hotel.
