While Comic-Con won't be taking place in San Diego this summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the convention will live on in a special @Home edition that will include virtual panels that fans can enjoy from the safety of their own homes. In addition to AMC's panels for shows such as The Walking Dead and NOS4A2, horror fans can look forward to Shudder's "Scary Good TV with Horror's Top Showrunners" and "Horror is Queer" panels:
Press Release: July 8, 2020 — Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, will be presenting two powerhouse horror panels at this year’s virtual Comic-Con@Home event:
Scary Good TV with Horror’s Top Showrunners — Nick Antosca (Channel Zero), Meredith Averill (Locke & Key), Don Mancini (Chucky), Greg Nicotero (Creepshow) and Jami O’Brien (NOS4A2) offer their unique insights on why horror TV is having a moment and what it takes to create the kind of terrifying shows that keep viewers coming back episode after episode. Moderated by screenwriter/educator Tananarive Due (executive producer, Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror).
Shudder Presents ‘Horror is Queer’ — Discover why horror cinema is (and always has been) queer with Sam Wineman (The Quiet Room), director of Shudder’s upcoming documentary on LGBTQ horror film history, and a panel of leading voices: Nay Bever (co-host, Attack of the Queerwolf podcast), Bryan Fuller (creator, Hannibal), Don Mancini (creator of the Child’s Play franchise), Lachlan Watson (actor, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and, serving as moderator, writer Jordan Crucchiola.
Comic-Con@Home runs July 22-26. Dates and times for Shudder’s panels will be announced via the event’s organizers later this week.
