About

Horror Con Scotland was created to bring a fresh and thrilling experience to Scotland’s horror fans. With a focus on the dark, the eerie, and the spine-chilling, Horror Con Scotland offers immersive events that celebrate the creativity, passion, and dedication of the horror community. Founded by Laura Ripley, our mission is to provide unforgettable, fear-inducing experiences for fans while shining a spotlight on Scotland’s incredible horror creators, performers, and artists.

Drawing inspiration from global horror conventions, we bring the best of the genre to Scotland, while keeping things personal and local. Each event is thoughtfully designed, offering engaging panels, interactive performances, and creative showcases that allow attendees to dive deep into the world of horror. Whether you're looking to meet like-minded fans, learn from industry experts, or simply enjoy the thrill of the scare, Horror Con Scotland is the place to be.

    Scotland's Creative Talent

    We aren't about replicating large, events. Our focus is on supporting local talent and nurturing the creative community. From artists to filmmakers, these events offer a space for Scottish creatives to showcase their work and for attendees to explore the rich culture of Horror that Scotland has to offer.

  • Inclusivity

    We strive to create an inclusive environment. Traditional conventions can sometimes feel overwhelming, so our events are designed to offer a more comfortable and personal experience. There’s no overcrowding, and themed areas are carefully tailored to suit different interests and comfort levels.
