Welcome to the official website of the 2011 World Horror Convention in Austin, Texas! The World Horror Convention is an annual gathering of professionals in the horror industry; publishers, authors, artists, musicians, filmmakers, dealers and, of course, horror fans. WHC serves as both an industry insider’s networking event and a chance for fans of the genre to get together, meet some of the creative talents in the field, and generally spend a weekend celebrating All Things Scary.
Welcome
WELCOME to World Horror
Convention 2011!
Austin, Texas is where you’ll find us so grab your Stetson and dust off your boots. The international gathering of horror’s brightest talents and their fans will take place from April 28th through May 1st, 2011 at the Doubletree Hotel.
Known as both the Capital of Texas and the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin provides the entertainment and cultural draws of a large city with the intimacy of a small town. This smaller size translates to ease of transportation in and around the city with many opportunities for convention attendees to absorb what Austin has to offer. We know you’re going to love the time you spend here.

Our Guests of Honor list is outstanding, with award winning and bestselling authors and industry experts Steve Niles, Vincent Chong, Brett Savory, Sandra Kasturi, Sarah Langan, Joe Hill, Joe R. Lansdale, Del Howison and Brian Keene on the roster.
