Can I wear a costume?
When it comes to the Marley Station Mall: Please refrain from weaponry, or masked costumes that you cannot remove. Mall policy dictates we cannot have masks outside of our area. If you wish to be Ghostface, Jason Voorhees or John Carver, please wait until you are in our ticketed area to put the mask on.
We love costumes, but be mindful that Halfway to Halloween is a bit smaller and tighter quarters than our standard event in the fall.
Is it all ages?
ABSOLUTELY YES! We have something for everyone! Whether you're a little kid, grown adult, or somewhere in between, there's something for you here! We try to keep the scary to a manageable level, too.
Where is the Venue?
Marley Station Mall! When you get to the mall, you can park either in the food court parking, or main "front" parking. We're located across the hall from the food court, just next to J.C. Penny. We have the entire lower floor in the wing!
Tickets and Check-In are located out front near Metro PCS/JC Penny's area near the end of the hall.
Are there hotels nearby?
Sure! It's a one day, but if you need to, there are several in the Hanover area, or even in Glen Burnie! We do not have any room specials for this event.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Absolutely! We highly recommend to grab them from our online ticket page, as it will be cheaper than in person. We're a firm believer in trying to keep our ticket costs low, but we still have expenses to pay for ourselves.
Is there stuff to eat?
There's a food court! Sbarro, and a few other restaurants are waiting for you!
WEAPON CHECK
We mentioned it in the costume portion, but please:
-NO FIREARMS (even those with a cc permit)
-NO METAL BLADED WEAPONS
-NO BLUNT METAL OBJECTS (bats, crowbars, clubs)
​
Please use a cosplay rule of thumb: If it feels too dangerous to wield in public, don't. SAFETY is our primary concern.
​
With the mall, please keep any and all costume weaponry to your self, or hidden as best as possible. It is not needed at this event, as we do not have a costume contest.
I'm an author, can I sell my books?
Yes! Our vendor application is the catch-all for anyone looking to get a table! If you're an author, film-maker, musician, crafter, artist, etc., it's all the same for our back-end purposes. Please fill out the vendor form, and we'll be in touch with an approval if your application gets approved!
Is the event all day and night?
Our event is confined to the mall hours. We're running 12-7 on Saturday.
Are the Celebs signing autographs?
Yes! They'll be on hand both days of our show (unless specified otherwise) to sign merchandise, posters, photos, and more! They'll have items for sale at their tables, but if you have something from home, feel free to bring it! VHS, soundtracks, toys, etc! They will be charging for autographs, which we'll do our best to post before the event starts, over on Facebook.
I make AI Art. Can I vend?
Short answer? No.
Long answer: AI Art is a tool. It's a software that pulls from a database of works of art to create your design. While we think it's super neat, we do not allow AI Artists at FrightReads. We have too many artists that have honed and perfected the craft manually to replace them with a computer.
If someone is deemed to be an AI Artist, they will be asked to leave the event, and no refund will be given for the vendor space.
Should I bring Cash? Card?
We can't really guide you on that. The golden rule is: "Cash is King." Most of our vendors and guests will accept digital payments in some form, but in the event of a network outage, or they do not support online payments, please bring cash just in case. There are a few gas stations nearby that likely have ATM options for cash withdraw, as well as the mall.
