HellmouthCon 2026: Back to Sunnydale We Go!

 

Buffy fans, assemble!

I'm excited to share that I've officially been approved for media coverage at HellmouthCon 2026, and I'll be spending the weekend wandering the halls of the real Sunnydale High School filming location. If you've ever wanted to step into the Buffyverse, meet fellow Scoobies, check out guest panels, shop for fandom goodies, and celebrate all things Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this event looks like an absolute dream.

What makes HellmouthCon different from many larger conventions is that it's designed to be a more intimate, fan-focused experience. Hosted by the nonprofit Fandom Charities, the event combines fandom, community, and charitable giving, all while taking place at the actual filming location used as Sunnydale High. That's right... the real Sunnydale.

And if you're attending, please come say hello! One of my favorite parts of covering events is meeting readers, fellow fans, and making new friends along the way. If you spot me roaming around campus, don't be shy—stop me for a selfie, a quick chat, or just to say hi. I'd love to meet you!
