Current Guests

Tito Santana
WWE Legend & Hall of Famer!

Tito Santana is an American professional wrestler best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) during the 1980s and early 1990s. Widely respected for his consistency, athleticism, and clean-cut persona, Santana became one of the company’s most reliable fan favorites during wrestling’s national expansion era.

A two-time Intercontinental Champion, Santana also captured the WWF Tag Team Championship alongside Rick Martel as part of the popular team Strike Force. He was known for his signature finishing move, the “Flying Forearm,” and his energetic in-ring style that made him a standout performer against top stars of the era.

Throughout his career, Santana competed against legendary figures such as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and Greg Valentine, earning a reputation as a dependable and technically skilled competitor. His contributions helped elevate the prestige of the Intercontinental Championship during a formative period in professional wrestling.

After stepping away from full-time competition, Santana transitioned into a career in education, working as a teacher and coach while still making occasional appearances in wrestling. His legacy endures as one of the most respected and enduring performers of his generation.

Arthur Suydam
Award Winning Artist

Arthur Suydam is an American comic book artist and illustrator best known for his work on Marvel Zombies, where his painted covers helped define the series’ distinctive, horror-driven aesthetic. Renowned for blending classical painting techniques with comic book storytelling, Suydam is considered one of the pioneers of fully painted comic art.

Over the course of his career, Suydam has contributed to a wide range of major titles and publishers, including work featuring iconic characters such as Batman, Wolverine, Black Panther, and Deadpool. His artwork has also appeared in prominent publications like Heavy Metal, Epic Illustrated, and National Lampoon.

In addition to mainstream comics, Suydam has created several original projects, including Mudwogs, Cholly and Flytrap, and Demon Dreams, showcasing his versatility across fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres. His detailed, anatomical style—often influenced by classical and Renaissance art—has made his work instantly recognizable within the industry.

Beyond comics, Suydam has produced album artwork, book covers, and video game art, further expanding his influence across pop culture. His long-standing career and distinctive visual approach have earned him recognition as a significant figure in modern comic book illustration.

Cosplay & Policies

Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable experience for everyone. These guidelines outline what’s allowed, what’s prohibited, and how to keep props, costumes, and behavior event-friendly for all ages.

Cosplay is NOT consent. Please ask every cosplayer before taking pictures, hugging them, or touching their cosplay and props.
Prohibited Weapons

For everyone’s safety, the following items are not allowed at our events: functional projectile weapons, guns, metal swords, blunt objects (like baseball bats), pepper spray, or explosives (including fireworks).

Cosplay Props

Cosplay weapons must be made from safe materials such as wood, cardboard, PVC, plastic, or high-density foam. No glass, ceramic, or metal props. Bows are allowed without strings, but arrows are not permitted. Guns (even replicas) should be left at home. Handcuffs, chains, restraints, or collars are fine as part of a costume—but must be used safely and never on others without consent.

Common Sense & Safety

We aim to keep our events fun and safe for all ages, especially children. If you’re unsure whether a prop is allowed, contact us before the event. We’d rather answer your questions in advance than have to confiscate something on the spot.

Vendors Selling Weapons

Vendors must package any weapon sold (original box or secure packaging) so it cannot be carried openly at the event. Buyers should be told not to remove it until they’ve left the venue. Selling weapons to minors is illegal in most of Ontario and will result in a vendor ban.
