With Halloween just around the corner, no doubt plenty of Netflix subscribers will be tuning into the new horror The Conference – so, here’s your guide to the cast and characters.

Spooky season is upon us, and Netflix has plenty of tricks and treats up its sleeve. The Fall of the House of Usher is arguably the biggest release this month, with Mike Flanagan’s horror series earning praise from critics and audiences alike. 

If demonic possession and true crime are more your vibe, The Devil on Trial arrives next week. There’s also been a drop of old horror flicks to binge-watch this Halloween, including It Follows and Ma. 

This brings us to The Conference, which offers up humor and horror in equal measure. With the movie now available for streaming, we’ve broken down the cast, including the actors and characters they play.

The Conference cast & characters

Before we get into it, here’s the synopsis for The Conference on Netflix: “A murderer picking people off one by one in a remote location à la Sleepaway Camp –  but the killer’s targets are wry, bleary-eyed bureaucrats instead of teens? 

“Fill that water bottle to the brim and lace up your hiking boots: It’s time to settle in for an outdoorsy night of frights. In The Conference, a team-building retreat – already the stuff of nightmares – turns into a booby-trapped, backstabbing bloodbath when a mysterious killer shows up.”
