Actors from the MTV show “Teen Wolf” are coming to Conyers this weekend for a fan convention.

The popular teen supernatural drama, which ran from 2011 to 2017, shot its first two seasons largely in Conyers in 2010 and 2011 but moved to Los Angeles in 2012 after winning a tax credit lottery. The most recent “Teen Wolf’ movie, which came out earlier this year and is available on Paramount+, was also filmed in Conyers.

Super Fantastic Conventions is hosting The Beacon Hills High School Reunion from Oct. 26-29. Actors Tyler Posey, Tyler Hoechlin, Crystal Reed and Ian Bohen are scheduled to show up along with a fairly extensive array of show regulars and recurring actors. (The list is below.)

The convention will be held at Costley Mill Park, 455 Costley Mill Road NE in Conyers. Tickets are available at beaconhillshigh.com. Day passes are $99 and a weekend general admission pass is $249. VIP packages range from $800 to $3,000.

A separate Thursday night event where you can dine with the cast at Social Goat Tavern in Covington and compete in an axe throwing competition next door at Ax Town is $199. The convention, which will include panel discussions and meet and greets, is holding a mini-carnival Friday night with rides, games, a costume contest and a chance to dunk Posey in a dunk tank. One of the actors, Orny Adams who plays Coach Bobby Finstock, is holding a comedy show Friday night.

On Saturday, Posey will perform a concert and on Sunday, there will be a game night with cast members.

Posey, by the way, was revealed as the Hawk in this week’s “The Masked Singer” on Fox.
