<div>Posting listings to this tribe about camo netting for sale or looking for cage dancers? Not cool. This is the World Horror Convention Tribe. Do I really need to spell it out?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://worldhorror.tribe.net">World Horror Convention</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>I just got an email back from Mike Mendez telling me that we can show his new movie THE GRAVEDANCERS in the World Horror Convention film festival. We also are showing an adaptation of Matthew Costello's novel BENEATH STILL WATERS thanks to Lion's Gate. <br/> <br/>We are working on both the new progress report and the panel schedule right now. As head honcho, I've pencilled in Matthew's movie to premiere on Thursday night and Mike's to premiere on Saturday night before the gross out contest. The main hall of the convention seats 650 people, so if we have more people than last year at New York we might be in trouble! <br/> <br/>I hope that you all love the films we show you. We're wavering on showing you the movie with Gary Busey voicing a homicidal gingerbread man, but then again you might like that at 3 in the morning. We are trying to arrange to show the movies on the hotel's closed circuit TV system as well -- cross your fingers for that!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://worldhorror.tribe.net">World Horror Convention</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div> <br/>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <br/> <br/>World Horror Convention 2006 <br/>May 11-14, 2006 <br/>Holiday Inn San Francisco-Golden Gateway <br/>1500 Van Ness Ave. <br/>San Francisco, CA 94109 <br/>www.whc2006.org <br/>Contact Co-Chairs: <br/>Darren Mckeeman, Darren@whc2006.org <br/>Chad Savage, Chad@whc2006.org <br/>Jeremy Lassen, Jeremy@whc2006.org <br/> <br/>WORLD HORROR CONVENTION 2006 COMES TO SAN FRANCISCO: World Horror Convention 2006, a professional convention for writers, artists, publishers and booksellers focusing on horror and dark fantasy, comes to the Holiday Inn San Francisco-Golden Gateway May 11-14, 2006. Guests of Honor include author Peter Straub (Toastmaster; www.peterstraub.net), artist Brom (www.bromart.com), publishers John Pelan (www.darksidepress.com) and Hiroki Sakai (www.vertical-inc.com), and authors Kim Newman (www.johnnyalucard.com) and Clive Barker (www.clivebarker.com). Special events include presentation of the 2006 Horror Grandmaster Award, a charity auction to benefit Bat Conservation International, Inc. (www.batcon.org), a Mass Autographing session, an Art Show, a Dealers Room, an independent film festival, publisher and film pitch sessions, panels, readings, fiction contests, and more. <br/> <br/>San Francisco has a colorful past, growing from a small village to a major city nearly overnight as a result of the 1849 Gold Rush. The writers of the "beat" generation, the hippies of the Summer of Love in the late 1960's and the large gay/lesbian population have all contributed to making San Francisco the fascinating place it is today. The City by the Bay was home to literary legends such as Ambrose Bierce and Fritz Leiber, and the Bay Area hosts horror personalities in both the literary world and the world of cinema. Tourist information on www.whc2006.org includes ghost tours, haunted hotels, film locations, and more. <br/> <br/>Attending Memberships are on sale through May 31, 2005 for just $100 for the weekend. Beginning June 1, 2005, Attending Memberships will be $110, and prices will go up incrementally to $140 at the door. Memberships may be purchased online or by mail – see www.whc2006.org for more details. <br/> <br/>For more than ten years, the World Horror Society has overseen the World Horror Convention to provide an event that is conducive to education, networking and conducting business for horror professionals and enthusiasts. In celebration of professional achievement, WHC presents the Horror Grandmaster Award, honoring individuals who have contributed greatly to the horror field. Honorees are nominated and selected by past and present Members of WHC, and the 2006 Horror Grandmaster Award will be presented in a special ceremony at WHC 2006. Full details on past winners of the Grandmaster award may be found at www.worldhorrorsociety.org. <br/> <br/>This year’s co-chairs are Darren Mckeeman of Gothic.net, one of the foremost sites for online horror fiction and news; Chad Savage of SinisterVisions.com, award-winning horror artist and web designer; and Jeremy Lassen of Night Shade Books (www.nightshadebooks.com), award-winning publisher of quality books from a broad spectrum of genres. Mckeeman, Savage, and Lassen bring a wide range of professional skills and experience to WHC 2006, and plan to make this year’s event a convention to remember. <br/> <br/>WHC offers a juried Art Show featuring work of general interest to the horror and dark fantasy community. Work from both professional and amateur artists will be featured, and WHC 2006 will host a silent auction and print sales for participating artists. Full information on submitting work to the jury process may be found at www.whc2006.org. Artists need only apply to the jury once; acceptance by the jury allows an artist to exhibit at any future WHC. <br/> <br/>WHC 2006 welcomes advertisers and sponsors from San Francisco and the world. Please see our Advertising section on www.whc2006.org for full information, or to contact the committee with your questions. We are compiling a Horror Tourist Guide to include in member packets; please contact us with information to include. <br/> <br/>WHC2006.org offers up-to-the-minute information about WHC 2006, as well as forums and email discussion lists for your questions and comments. The complete committee list may be found there, including photos, bios, and contact information. Our first Progress Report will be mailed soon, and will include ballots for the 2006 Horror Grandmaster Award. Nominations and voting are open to Members of this and past World Horror Conventions; please purchase your membership soon if you would like to participate in the voting.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://worldhorror.tribe.net">World Horror Convention</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>As of the end of the last WHC, no firm bids had been placed or accepted for next years World Horror. (At least as far as I've managed to learn so far.) There is talk of Vancouver, Toronto, or maybe Phoenix again, and every year someone (usually John Pelan) tries to convince me that it should be in San Francisco, though I don't know anyone around here with enough time to commit to it. <br/> <br/>Anyway, with plans seemingly up in the air for next year, and this new tribe having been started for WHC, I thought maybe this would be a good introductory thread where we can discuss what we've heard about the plans for 2005, or lack there of, and sort of keep each other informed. <br/> <br/>Anyone more in the know than I am? As that I left WHC 2004 early Sunday morning, I may have missed something, and the plans might not be as bleak sounding as I've heard. (I'll have to blame my network of spies for that one!)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://worldhorror.tribe.net">World Horror Convention</a> - 1 reply </div>
