During this epic two-day meet and greet fans can get autographs, pictures, and have the opportunity to chat with Tait. Fans, you can bring your own items to have signed or purchase some of Tait’s own merchandise that will be available.

Annabelle Comes Home will be showing at 3 p.m. and Halloween Kills at 7 p.m., both will be held in the downstairs theatre.
