Halloween in May: Cosplayers Pose for Pics at Fan Expo Dallas

Blog· Events

Cosplay, short for “costume play”, has become more and more popular in the last few years, as fans of all types dress up for comic book and sci-fi conventions. Cosplayers can spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in an elaborate labor of love to look like their favorite comic book and sci-fi characters, and some of them are famous in their own right. This past weekend, professional and amateur cosplayers showed up in droves at Fan Expo Dallas for fun and photo ops. Here are just a few of the amazing costumes seen at this year’s comic con.

Dallas Fan ExpoMeg Turney is a cosplayer who is famous for her roles on Internet shows such as SourceFed and Rooster Teeth.

Group costumes were also popular. These “Batman” fans dressed as Harley Quinn, the Joker and Poison Ivy.

While many of the costumes at Fan Expo Dallas were elaborate and expensive, sci-fi and comic book fans are very accepting of every level of cosplay, from a simple tee-shirt to Hollywood-quality makeup and costuming. Fan Expo Dallas, and its sister event Dallas Comic Con are the best places to see great costumes outside of a Halloween party. In fact, comic cons like Fan Expo Dallas are better than Halloween, since cosplayers have a love of dressing up beyond just a simple Halloween costume. Whether you’re interesting in dressing up or just meeting those who do, Fan Expo Dallas is a great experience for the whole family.

If you’re looking for more cosplay fun, make sure to check out Dallas Comic Con Fan Days at the Irving Convention Center on October 16-18, 2015. And don’t forget to mark your calendar for next year’s Fan Expo Dallas on June 3-5, 2016. For more information, visit dallascomiccon.com.
