YYCFanFair Special Guest: Tiffany Helm!

Get Ready to PARTY with Tiffany Helm at the YYC FanFair!
Tiffany’s role as Violet in Friday the 13th Part V is as memorable as her incredible dance scene is an iconic piece of 80’s pop culture cool! From her feature debut in 1984’s Hard to Hold to the recent acclaimed series Under the banner of Heaven, Tiffany has brought us many great guest appearances, supporting, and starring roles across the big and small screen. While her resume includes roles covering many different genres, it’s safe to say her horror and cult movie appearances hold a special place in her fans hearts! “Reform School Girls” (1986), Freddie’s Nightmares” (1989), “Red Letter Day” (2019), “In The Tall Grass” (2019) and “Come True” (2020) are just a few of the great projects she’s worked on. We’ve also heard through secret sources that Tiffany is currently working on the development of a horror feature script that will shoot in Utah at an undisclosed date. Tiffany will be signing autographs and meeting fans all day at the YYC FanFair.
