North American entertainment properties leading in horror, thriller and
suspense content are joining forces to celebrate genre entertainment at
this year’s Comic-Con by hosting “Con of Darkness,” an evening genre-party saluting Comic-Con fans and industry insiders alike. This invitation-only party takes place Friday, July 19, at San Diego’s gothic-inspired Voyeur nightclub from 8-11 PM PDT. The
event is produced by veteran production and communications agency,
A-List Communications who successfully produced last year’s horror genre
event.

genre universe to have this number of properties join forces to
entertain and honor their fans and colleagues. This unique partnership enables a really diverse array of visuals and entertainment for guests to enjoy.”
“Con
of Darkness” guests will experience an interactive event replete with
spectacular visuals from all event partners; a VIP suite decked out by
Dark Sky Films; music spun by a surprise special guest DJ; go-ghoul dancers; entertainment and customized refreshments. Food will be appropriate to the occasion; party guests can expect to suck, er, snack on:
