A creepy coincidence hit Creep I.E. Aftermath when Tori Spelling and Hayden Panettiere canceled their appearances just hours apart. An organizer for the weekend event in Ontario, California, attributed the cancellations to “emergencies” without providing further details. Panettiere is known for her role as Kirby Reed in the Scream movie franchise, and also stars in the interactive horror game Until Dawn. Spelling has appeared in several horror films, including 1997’s Scream 2, the 1999 Halloween-themed flick Trick, and Scary Movie 2. Other hiccups in the horror fest involved schedule changes by scream queen Christina Ricci, who rose to fame with the role of Wednesday in The Addams Family, John Carroll Lynch (American Horror Story’s killer clown Twisty) and Carel Struycken (The Addams Family‘s Lurch). The weekend horror extravaganza promises “200,000+ square feet of spooky shenanigans,” along with celeb meetups, “killer contests” and hauntings so participants can “get their creep on.”
