check out my blog willsmashforcomics if you have no clue what dragon-con is , this is part 3 of a blog series covering the event. horror gets a fair shake at dragon-con, ranging from the zombie -prom, to guests from the field Elvira to robert englund in attendance. the for horror cosplay was present with the doll face killer from the hills run red being the most memorable , in years past i know i have seen leather face and pinhead. horror get mixed into the dark fantasy track, panels i caught were the highly entertaining supernatural panel where micsha collins stole the show. the true blood panel featured writer charline harris who came off as a creepy old rich lady intent on flirting with the panelists, the monster hunter panel featured both sherrilyn kenyon and laurell k hamilton.
the lower profile panels i attended ranges from the normal gambit of genre topics, the occult fact or fiction, vampires, and were-wolves. mainly writers in the field pimping there products , combating twilight and the inevitable back lash. there rather horrifying trends were ya...which when i was a kinda i was reading king and barker from the get go so , not sure why we need to play it safe for the kids? and one author who i had to bite my tongue when she brought up the fact she was wrting christian vampire fiction,i can't believe people were ok with this, it is encouraging to see while zombies are on the rise as well as the were-wolves horror might go the less teeny bopper romance route and one day attempt to scare us again.
