Crypticon is a horror-oriented media convention[1] held annually in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Seattle, Washington, and Kansas City, Missouri. Guests have included authors, actors, directors, producers, designers, and writers from classic and upcoming horror titles.
Crypticon is composed of three areas open to the general public[citation needed]:
- The Dealers' Area, which is made up primarily of vendors selling horror-themed merchandise and booths advertising films, and guests signing and meeting fans;
- The Auditorium, where panels and speeches are given for the duration of the convention, including exclusive interviews with the guests; and
- The Screening Rooms, where new independent and mainstream horror films are screened via digital projection.
