50 Days of Dragon Con 2026 – Day 41 – Horror and Urban Fantasy

Jon sits down with Derek, Carol, and Ichabod for a conversation that gets to the (beating?) heart of why Horror and Urban Fantasy are sister tracks at Dragon Con. We trace the tracks back to their goth-culture roots and talk about how they are different and, at times, the same.

Derek explains how the Horror Track grew from gothic culture through dark fantasy into the Horror track. Carol talks about Urban Fantasy as the track where the supernatural world melds with ordinary human life.

Additionally, we cover the panels, the guest mix, the relationship with Netherworld, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the programming fresh from year to year.
