The New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival is making its return to the Showboat in Atlantic City on April 8, 9, and 10.

If you’re not familiar with the show, it’s a convention targeting horror fans where you can meet your favorite horror celebrities and shop local vendors.

NJ Horror Con features a Q&A with the celebrities and, something they offer that no other local convention does, a massive film festival. You can also get your picture taken by a professional photographer with your favorite celebrity.

Some of their past celebrity lists consist of Charlie Sheen, Tom Wilson and Lea Thompson from “Back to the Future;” Tony Moran who is the original Michael Myers and brother to Erin Moran from “Happy Days;” Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira; Dee Snider from Twisted Sister; Peter Criss from KISS; Steve Guttenberg, and so many more.

This will be New Jersey Horror Con’s ninth show in New Jersey and sixth in Atlantic City on the old casino floor. But they aren’t stopping there. The company has expanded to Pennsylvania with PA Horror Con and the Horror Sideshow Market, which is like a flea market focusing on the vendors more than the celebrities.

If you’re not into horror, you’ll want to check out their brand new show coming in June to Showboat in Atlantic City called “Classic Rewind Weekend,” which focuses more on pop culture.

New Jersey Horror Con’s upcoming show features some well-known celebrities like:

Eric Roberts

Kristy Swanson

Barry Bostwick

Ross Marquand

Felissa Rose

 Dave Sheridan

The Ultimate Guide to New Jersey Brewpubs

From the website that gave you the "Friendliest bars" and places to watch the game, comes the ultimate guide to New Jersey brewpubs.

So what's a "brew pub"?

According to Thompson Island's Article on the differences between a craft brewery, microbrewery, brewpub & gastropub, it says:
 
"A brewpub is a hybrid between a restaurant and a brewery. It sells at least 25% of its beer on-site in combination with significant food services. At a brewpub, the beer is primarily brewed for sale inside the restaurant or bar. Where it's legally allowed, brewpubs may sell beer to go or distribute it to some offsite destinations."

New Jersey has tons of Brewpubs, some of which have been around for years and some that have just opened in the past year.

Here is a full list of the 21 brewpubs in New Jersey according to New Jersey Craft Beer:
