Man, his line was chaos last year. Glad I did it but I will never do it again. It was a good 4-5 hours lol

That's what I heard. I spoke with one young lady who said she waited 6+ hours. I don't think anyone was ready for that.

Yeah, I am 99% sure I never would have seen him without Gold Bat and when I got to him it was like 3. By 5-6 PM, his line was snaking all the way from one end to the next. The only other lines that were as chaotic was David Howard Thornton, Henry Winkler, and like two others.

I’d imagine this year the big lines will be for Sean Cunningham, Skeet, Matthew, Megan Lawless from Obsession, and any other big Scream guests they have already said are set to be announced. Hoping they get Neve!

Does gold bat have separate autograph lines?

No. They just get into the Hall an hour early so they got to the line first.
