C2E2 2025, Horror Panel & Booksigning
The Horror, The Horror
S-402B (5:15-6:00, booksigning to follow)
Like the Destructor in Ghostbusters, horror can take many forms, even a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. From the humorous to the macabre, all of it makes your spine tingle, and make you afraid to turn out the light. Hear these acclaimed writers discuss their approach to scaring us all.
