If your the kind of person who knows that Linda Blair is the pea soup puking youngster from The Exorcist or always wondered what baby Tabitha from Bewitched would look like all grown up, then this weekend's Terror Con at the Providence Convention Center is for you. Both women (Tabitha was played by the lovely Erin Murphy) will appear along with about 60 other comic book artists, actors, wrestlers and folks who are simply known for the art of cosplay (that's serious dress up time).

The truth be told, this is a pretty impressive roster of television and film stars. Aside from the aforementioned Ms's.
