March 11, 2010 - PRLog -- NEW YORK and ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Blood!  Knives!  Hockey Masks!  Ominous Music!  Horror fans, get ready for a celebration of all things gory and grisly as Comic Con debuts its year-long “Horror Pavilion” at the Anaheim Comic Con, April 16-18 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.  The Horror Pavilion will feature an area dedicated to writers, artists, musicians, and actors the genre fans crave.  From the classic to the contemporary, from the independent to corporate & major studios, the Horror Pavilion encompasses comics, video games, music, novels, and much more.

The Horror Pavilion has been created in conjunction with Michael J. Hein, filmmaker and director of the NYC Horror Film Festival, and Joseph B. Mauceri, executive editor of FEARSmag.com and programming director for the NYC Horror Film Festival.

“I’m totally blown away that Wizard is giving us the opportunity to partner with them so we can reach out to more filmmakers and bring their films to an even bigger audience,” said Mauceri.  Hein added, “Between Joe and me, we personally know or have worked with the majority of the people currently working within the genre. Plus, I know past festival attendees will agree that we know how to put on a killer event!”
