TORONTO'S ONLY ALL HORROR CONVENTION

About
OUR team

We are people who live and breathe HORROR in all it's myriad forms. Film, books, art, magazines, comics, music... the experience of being scared, of fright, is one that is endlessly applied to all of the arts.

And in presenting HORROR-RAMA we love sharing that love and creating a space where our collective obsessions have a home.
