Puerto Rico Horrific Expo was born from the dark passion of three minds united by horror. From three different corners of the map, but driven by the same obsession with the terrifying, these horror fanatics joined forces to create the most spine-chilling event the island has ever seen.

​

🕷️ From Texas comes George Ortiz, the filmmaker and director of the cult classic “The House of the Demon”, and creator of the acclaimed San Antonio Horrific Film Fest—a true pioneer in transforming independent horror cinema into live, immersive experiences.

 

🕷️ From Puerto Rico, joins J. Rene Munz, an internationally awarded horror author whose works have earned six literary awards, blending chilling narratives with deep cultural roots.

​

🕷️ From New York, completing the trio is Rob Melendez, a relentless collector and die-hard fan of horror cinema and pop culture—a living encyclopedia of the genre with a clear vision: to connect fans with their darkest icons.

Together, these three horror enthusiasts have crafted a one-of-a-kind experience: a weekend packed with horror film stars, themed exhibits, exclusive panels, screenings, autograph signings, cosplay contests, and everything a true fan of the genre could ever dream of.
