What to Expect at HellmouthCon
Your Guide to Fan Experiences, Photo Ops & More

​What Is HellmouthCon and How Does It Work?

​

HellmouthCon is a fan-run convention focused on creating an inclusive, welcoming experience for all attendees. We're not like the big corporate cons — we don’t do exclusive high-bid meet-and-greets or VIP-only access. Instead, we aim to keep things affordable, fan-friendly, and fun.

​

Everyone with a badge has equal access to our guests through panels, photo ops, Fan Experiences, and autograph/selfie opportunities. We do not offer one-on-one time with guests, and if a guest is walking the venue during their personal downtime, they are not available for fan interaction.

​

 Every attendee has equal access to our guests through:

• Panels

• Fan Experiences (FEs)

• Photo Ops

• Autographs & Selfies 

We want everyone to feel included and have a great time without breaking the bank.

​

Panels & Programming

We offer two panel rooms that are open to all badge-holders and runs throughout the day:

• Main Room: Big-name guests and spotlight sessions

• Smaller Room: Intimate discussions, workshops, and fandom panels

​​

All panel access is included with your badge—no extra fees required.

​

Fan Experiences (FEs)

Fan Experiences are group-based sessions, usually about 45 minutes long, and include fun interactions like Q&As, games, or themed conversations with guests.
 

• Tickets are flat-priced and sold on a first-come, first-served basis—no bidding involved.

• Purchase online through our website in advance.  If any tickets remain they can be purchased in person at the designated table inside the Sunnydale Mall (if not sold out).

• Onsite: cash, credit, and Venmo

​​​

Note: The only time FE tickets are auctioned is when some donated their tickets to the Martin Katz Memorial Auction for charity.

​

Specialty Photo Ops / Specialty Tableaux

We offer professional photo ops with:

​

• Individual guests

• Themed combo shots featuring two or more guests

• Purchase in advance on our website (recommended—they often sell out) 

• Or buy onsite (if available) at the designated table inside the Sunnydale Mall

• Onsite: cash, credit, and Venmo​

​

Autographs & Table Selfies

Guests will be signing and taking selfies at their tables inside the Sunnydale Mall throughout the weekend.

• Pay directly at each guest’s table

• All accept cash and credit cards; some may accept Venmo

• Prices vary by guest and are set individually

​​

Breakfast with Villains & Pricing

In 2024, we hosted Breakfast with Villains—a hot buffet meal with fan-favorite baddies—for $75. Fan Experiences range from $50–$100.

Pricing for 2025 will be announced in May, but we always aim to keep events accessible and fun while supporting charity.
