2. Genre and Conventions!!
Horror
Horror conventions are gatherings of the community of fans of
various forms of horror including horror cinema, Goth lifestyle, and
occasionally science fiction and fantasy. Historically the focus has
been on the cinematic form rather than literature and art, but this
has broadened to include all forms in recent years. People in
attendance at a horror convention are traditionally known as
members of the convention; invited celebrities including film
directors and stars are commonly known as guests of the
convention, though many professionals including directors will
simply attend as members.
