It takes considerable talent to stand out as a performer who has made over 150 appearances in film and television, but it takes incredible talent to do much of that while under several layers of makeup and prosthetics.

With several accolades for his work, actor, contortionist and mime artist Doug Jones has proven just that, and this fall he will be at ThunderCon’s very special Wibbly-Wobbly-Timey-Wimey 10th Birthday, September 20-21.

“For many of us in the ThunderCon family, having Doug as a guest is a dream come true,” says ThunderCon Chair Amanda Capar. “His incredible career of bringing amazing characters to life onscreen, along with his innate ability to bring joy to fans at conventions, makes him the ideal guest for ThunderCon.”

Last year, more than 3000 people came out to celebrate their fandoms, and for 2025, with the star power of Doug Jones, ThunderCon’s leadership team is looking forward to continuing the events’ year-over-year growth by setting new attendance records once again.

Jones’ fall appearance at ThunderCon will make him one of the most high-profile celebrity guests the event has hosted since its inception ten years ago. His film and television credits include several collaborations with director Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth, and The Shape of Water), Hocus Pocus, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Tank Girl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Trek: Discovery, The Strain and much more.

More guests and attractions are set to be announced throughout the summer in the lead up to ThunderCon 2025.
