One week from now, we'll be arriving in San Diego and starting our live Comic-Con 2013 coverage. We've already been reporting on events and panels taking place at the San Diego Convention Center, but there are just as many events taking place downtown. Here are details on an interactive installation being set up for Insidious Chapter 2 and a Minimates Headquarters from Diamond Select Toys:
Insidious Chapter 2: "SAN DIEGO, July 8th, 2013 – This July, 300 lucky fans will experience the world of Insidious in an interactive installation that will take them into the dark, twisted and disturbing reality of the Lambert Family!
With the use of imagery, props, installations, iconic music, exclusive content and more, "TO GO FURTHER" will encapsulate the heartbeat of this unique horror franchise.
Located in a haunted loft, the invitation-only event will be held on the evening of Thursday, July 18th, with three special sessions between the hours of 9pm and 1am. Producer Jason Blum (The Purge, Insidious), along with writer/actor Leigh Whannell and Angus Sampson (Specs and Tucker), will be on-site to celebrate with fans as they uncover some of the more insidious manifestations that continue to inhabit this space, all while enjoying delicious food, cocktails and music!
Tickets to the event are being given away exclusively through the Insidious Facebook page and official promotional partners FEARnet, Celebuzz and Cinemablend. For more details on how to win, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/InsidiousMovie"

Minimates Headquarters: "For the past year, Diamond Select Toys has been celebrating the tenth anniversary of their Minimates toy line, from the mini-figure line’s debut in 2002 with Star Trek and KISS to the launch of the flagship Marvel series in 2003. With the anniversary coming to a close, DST is turning things up a notch by transforming one of San Diego’s best eateries into Minimates Headquarters for the weekend of Comic-Con International!??
Taste and Thirst on Fourth, the home of some of the best wings in San Diego, will become the headquarters for Minimates fans beginning Friday, July 19th. The Headquarters will open to the public at 11 am, and will be the home of the touring 10th Anniversary Exhibit, with 10 years of Minimates and Minimates artwork on display all weekend. Pick up one of the con-exclusive Shadow Merk Battle Beasts when you visit, and use the coupons available at the DST booth (#2607) to get a discount on food and drinks!
As a special treat for the hardcore Minimate fans, DST will also open the Headquarters to the public at 10 pm on Thursday night! The exhibit will be on display, the DST staff will be on hand to talk shop, and lucky attendees will receive a free exclusive “Hot Wings” Merk Minimate while supplies last!
