About Me
From Ball Gowns to Nightmares
Hello and welcome! I am Horror Queen Cosplay, and have been a cosplayer since 2008. With many awards under my belt, both in Masquerade performances and various craftmanship weighed competitions. I am also a Twitch streamer for a variety of video game genres. Through my years of cosplay I have hosted countless panels, convention cosplay meetups, and an annual Halloween costume/cosplay showcase for anyone in the cosplay community to join. I believe in uplifting and helping others within the cosplay community, just like those who have done so for me in the past. Additionally, I am a Capcom Creator/Collaborator.
