I'd be curious to see any pictures from the festival. Will this forum post the pics?

I am adding  New Jersey Transit and Long Island Railroad pictures (witch you may use if coming from JFK though that line may use a diffrent model train) to my picture set including pictures of the Newwark Airport Train Station where you have to transfer from NJ transit or Amtrack  to the Monorail.

Well, I've decided to take a cab from Staten Island to Newark, and Lord only knows how much it will be to get there!

Where are you driving from? I may be going by myself and may need help driving.

The Festival should be giving out travel details with its mailings soon. Being that I'm coming from SI, maybe we can pool our resources and take the same cab there!

The Hotel is actually located in Elizabeth (the one aspect that seems to fit with a Dark Shadows theme).  It's a 5.5 mile drive from Newark Penn Station.  The website says it is a $23 cab ride from the Airport to the hotel which seems to be comparable to how much a cab from the train station will cost.

Believe it or not, the hotel website describes the venue as "chic." 

FWIW, it seems to be smack dab in the middle of nowhere, off a highway that goes to the Newark Intl Airport.  Bring your granola and peanut butter sandwiches as the snooty waiters at the tiny hotel restaurant may run out of provisions when the place is jammed with tired, hungry conventioneers foraging for food in the great wilderness of the airport hinterland.

Personally, I don't understand the return to NJ after the way we were screwed by New Jersey Network years ago!  Why not Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Tarrytown?  Even my neck of the woods, Staten Island, has a Hilton adjacent to highways and shopping centers!  THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE THAN NEWARK!!!

LdyAnne, do you know if a person had to book the shuttle in advance, or can you call the hotel from the airport to get it?

I believe from experience that the hotel choices are based on what's available and price.  An ideal choice isn't always attainable.
