Special Guest Appearance
Haunted house, cosplay, and f/x makeup fans, don't miss our special guests BUD & ARYN from THE DENT SCHOOLHOUSE! They'll join us at 6:15 PM for a show & tell with costumes and props, followed by a Q&A session.
Bud Stross is the Co-owner of The Dent Schoolhouse, a Cincinnati staple for 29 years that has been featured on E!, Travel Channel, and BuzzFeed, to name a few. Aside from being a co-owner, Bud is one of the key mastermind artists behind all those ghosts and ghouls haunting the school! He also happens to be married to the fabulous Aryn Fox.
Aryn joins Bud in working at The Dent Schoolhouse as the Costume Designer and a Makeup Artist, and owns and works at Body of Art Tattoo in Dayton, KY. In addition to her many awards and features, Aryn was also a finalist on season 2 of Skin Wars!
The couple is well-versed in their craft, living and breathing it all year long, professionally and personally.
