The Hellmouth is a fan convention held in Los Angeles since 2007. As the name suggests, it grew out of fandom for Buffy and other TV shows directed by Joss Whedon, but over the years it has expanded in scope to "educate while entertaining in all areas of fandom: books, comics, television, movies, animation, technology, steampunk, arts and sciences."[1]
