Panels run continuously across the event’s operating hours each day rather than following a fixed separate start time — check the day’s posted schedule for the specific lineup and times. Since the panel roster changes from event to event, the schedule is the most reliable source for exact timing.
Based on the 2026 panel schedule, “Couch Chat” was an informal, interview and hangout-style session — billed as “Couch Chat with Cooper Andrews, featuring Cooper Andrews and surprise friends” — rather than a structured, moderated Q&A format. It leaned more conversational than a typical panel Q&A.
There’s always a chance a Hilltop-style ensemble panel returns, since it’s been part of past Camps, but nothing is confirmed for 2027 yet. Panel programming is finalized closer to the event, so watch for the official schedule announcement.
There’s always a chance a Twilight-specific panel returns, given that Twilight guests have appeared at past Camps, but nothing is locked in for a future event yet. The panel lineup is confirmed later in the planning process.
There’s always a chance a dedicated FROM panel comes back, since it’s been part of recent Camp programming, but nothing is confirmed for a specific future event yet. Panel details are typically announced closer to the event date.
Yes — you can email contact@thecampevents.com to request that a specific actor be invited to a future event. There’s no guarantee the request will result in a booking, but the team does take these requests into account when building out future lineups.
Yes, surprise appearances happen fairly often at The Camp. Typically these guests come simply to hang out rather than sit behind a formal table, so you genuinely never know who you might run into over the course of a weekend.
The two events lean in different directions: The Camp is primarily a Walking Dead event with a handful of other shows mixed in, while Scream City Horror Con was a broader horror convention pulling guests from all kinds of different shows and movies rather than centering on one franchise.
The 2027 guest list is still listed as “Coming Soon” as of this review, so it’s not yet possible to say which non-Walking Dead genre guests, if any, will be part of the lineup. This answer should be updated once the official guest announcements begin.
There’s always a chance a guest stops by outside their scheduled table time, since impromptu hangouts happen fairly regularly at The Camp. It’s not something you can count on for any specific guest, but it’s part of what makes the weekend feel less formal than a typical convention.
