How “Scary” is Science?
Saturday 10:00 – 11:30, Parlor 2036
There was a time where things like organ cloning and replacing body parts with plastics were things that fiction writers used to fuel thrills and chills; now we’re seeing these medical marvels come true. Are they still scary, or have we moved on?

Devilishly Daring- Demonic Monsters
Saturday 12:00 – 13:30, SandPebble D
We’ll discuss the devils, demons, succubi and lords of the underworld that feature in our genre fiction and media SO often- because we adore them!

How Cthulu Became Cuddly?
Saturday 17:00 – 18:30, SandPebble B
How did the most terrifying beings of our imagination become cuddly plushies, love interests, and punchlines? We’ll look at the intersection of horror and humor, and whether they enhance or deface the genre.
