The latest issue of Rue Morgue magazine contains a "definitive" 2007 horror convention schedule. However, some of the conventions listed are not really "Horror" conventions, but rather "Comic" conventions. Also, Chiller Theatre, scheduled for January 26-28, has been cancelled. The following is a list of horror conventions I've compiled for 2007. Some of these are listed in Rue Morgue, others are not:

Ahh, so many conventions and so little time (and money!) Be sure to check out the conventions section of this site. I've been to several of these in the past and I'm sure I'll hit at least a few of them throughout the year.
