The annual gathering of gore fans returns to Los Angeles and we're rolling out the blood red carpet for YOU! With amazing celebrity guests, special events, previews, zillions of vendors, screenings, auctions, contests, and the best genre networking on the planet:

WEEKEND OF HORRORS is and always has been the place to be and be seen! Make your plans to be with us for the fun: previous years have been totally sold out! We're moving back to a hotel situation for the convention and our site is the lovely and user friendly MARRIOTT LAX.

Additional guests to be announced....

ALL GUESTS are contracted to appear and all convention contracts specify that appearances are tentative and subject to change as film and television work demands take precedence as can a personal conflict. Our events will take place whether a specific guest cancels or not (we always try to book replacements) and therefore we can not issue admission ticket or ticket package refunds if a particular guest does not fulfill their appearance contract. Of course we will always refund separately purchased photo ops and autograph tickets for a guest if they cancel.

The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest). Asking for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts, getting into long personal stories, or worse, is not acceptable for this format and, in fact, is quite self-centered when you are in essence "representing" all of fandom to a celebrity. Join us in trying to make this convention the best entertainment for everyone!
