WonderCon 2012 Heading South to Anaheim, California

By The Woman In Black
January 21st, 2012

Some of you may not know that the San Diego Comic-Con has a little sister known as WonderCon, which is typically held in San Francisco, but this year things are going to be a bit different. Due to renovation work taking place at Moscone Center South, the Con's usual home, the powers-that-be have opted to relocate it to the Anaheim Convention Center for its 2012 run of March 16th-18th rather than cancel or postpone it.

Right now the guest list is mostly geared toward comics fans (Yay! A real "comic" con!), but if last year is any indication, things should start cooking soon with more movie and TV show panels and guests sure to be added. The horror highlights thus far:

Joe Hill - author, Locke and Key, Heart-Shaped Box
Mike Mignola - writer/artist/creator, Hellboy, B.P.R.D.
Steve Niles - writer/creator, 30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre, Mystery Society
Eric Powell - writer/artist/creator, The Goon
Marv Wolfman - writer/editor, Blade, the Vampire Hunter, Tomb of Dracula
Bob Schreck - editor-in-chief, Legendary Comics

Keep it here for updates, and for more info in the meantime, visit the official WonderCon website.

Texas Frightmakers: Interview with Matthan Harris
Texas is a strange, strange place. Most horror fans think about chainsaws when you say the name Texas around them, and that's not a huge stretch from the truth. Bigger than many nations, Texas contains every variety of landscape and community found elsewhere in the US. It also contains no small amount of weirdness and weirdos. Inspired by the Texas Frightmakers panels at last year's Texas Frightmare Weekend as well as my love for my adopted home, I'm proud to introduce a series of monthly interviews called Texas Frightmakers.
