Yeah, does look like they're carrying over most of the guests. I don't think Englund is one of those guys that hits up every available con year round. I think he pretty much rotates the major regional horror conventions every few years, does a few international dates, and then a few others. He's supposed to in Munich later in November, but it seems like his con schedule is still open for that weekend.
But it really does seem this was all to accommodate a third day. Which is fine. It didn't end up hurting me any. My summer has been weird anyway, so fall is better.
