Winner: Offsite activations

A recreation of Anne Rice’s haunted New Orleans for AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, a fun “ski lodge” that combined various Paramount+ properties, and maybe the most sought-after Jurassic Park photo op ever for the dinosaur blockbuster’s 30th anniversary were among the standout offsite activations this year. Best of all, fans didn’t need a SDCC badge to get in on the fun.
