At Okhla’s HorrorCon, young wizards and Wednesday Addams share the floor

A seven-year-old dressed as Harry Potter was among the young visitors at HorrorCon India, where ghosts, witches and characters from horror and fantasy worlds filled NSIC Grounds in Okhla on Saturday.

The two-day festival, organised by TMV’s Khooni Monday, runs on October 31 and November 1. Its programme includes a Halloween parade, horror cosplay competition, live storytelling, musical performances, gaming zones and horror-film screenings.

For families, the dedicated HallowVille section offers face painting, puppet and magic shows, gaming arenas, a Monster Academy and family cosplay competitions. Vashu, who brought their son in the wizard’s signature look, said the child loved Harry Potter and that the costume gave him a chance to join the celebration.

The venue also has stalls for books, food, merchandise and Halloween props, alongside themed accessories and face-painting stations.

The final day is scheduled for November 1 at NSIC Grounds, Okhla.
