Photographer Kurt Howard may have been the only survivor of ZomBcon 2011, held at the SeaTac Hilton from Oct. 21 to 23.

Please click the image above for 29 more photos from the event.

The conference included visiting actors of the horror genre (including cast members of AMC’s Walking Dead), drinks, stiff dancing, nearly-unintelligible mutterings for brains and some truly amazing costume work.

Please enjoy Kurt’s timely slideshow for this Halloween season and be warned: fake blood and guts abound!
