Welcome to the Gathering of Television Horror Hosts - Internet - Cinema (G.O.T.H.I.C.), the largest assembly of horror hosts in the world. Hosts from all over the country, and some from around the world, come together to celebrate horror and to pay tribute to those who have paved the way. Since the late 1950's horror hosts have been bringing the best and worst in horror and sci-fi to homes and theaters throughout the world. Join us in paying homage to all of the creepsters of the airwaves and freaksters of the web.

2011
HorrorHound Weekend

With the immortal Count Gore de Vol as our Monster of Ceremonies, over 100 horror hosts gathered to officially crown the King of Horror Hosts... ZACHERLEY! Horror hosts gathered at HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis to bring their craft to 10,000+ unconventional conventionists. The first annual Roast the Host celebrated a decade of Mr. Lobo and, with the help of HorrorHound magazine and Ripley's Believe It or Not!, the inaugural class of hosts were inducted into the Horror Host Hall of Fame.

2010

2010 was the very first G.O.T.H.I.C. event. Over 80 hosts gathered to pay tribute to the mother of horror hosting... Vampira. A Vampira Spook-A-Like contest, a live spook show, and a mad monster party rounded out one crazy weekend! A documentary commemorating the event was filmed and will be available very soon.
