Site selection
Primarily taking place within the United States or Canada, the World Horror Convention alternated its venues between North America's eastern and western coastlines. The sole occasion it was held outside North America occurred in 2010, when it took place in Brighton, England.
Committees submitted location bids, which were then evaluated by the World Horror Society's board of directors, generally two years prior to the event. For many years, the convention was the venue for the Horror Writers Association's Bram Stoker Award ceremony until the HWA launched its independent Bram Stoker Awards Weekend. Additionally, the World Horror Convention Grand Master Award was regularly bestowed during most conventions until the event concluded.
