The Guest Lineup for Island FanCon 2026 is Looking Good!

Island FanCon 2026 is shaping up as a community-focused pop culture event for Langford and the surrounding region, with a guest list that blends film, television, and sports personalities in a way few local conventions attempt.

Island FanCon 2026

Island FanCon 2026 is beginning to take shape with a regular wave of guest announcements, and to their credit, they are doing one thing other shows have not done: to include stars from the sports arena to the pop culture scene. Now in its third year, the convention functions as a hometown, community-focused event for residents of Langford, British Columbia, and surrounding areas. The event is scheduled to take place from June 5 to 7, 2026, at City Centre Park.

While it recalls the frantic energy of Evil Dead: Arise, the film also channels the streetwise vibe of Attack the Block, albeit with a distinctly Canadian twist. And like most films that premiered the previous year at Fantasia Film Festival, it’s now available to stream, or should I say scream?

In tone and aesthetic, the Ghoulies influence feels stronger than The Blob. Written by Brandon Cohen and directed by Vivieno Caldinelli, the narrative reminds us that some of the scariest threats lurk just beneath our feet. Unlike creature features, where monsters simply leap out to snap at whatever’s nearby, this story also centers on a father-and-son duo attempting to save the residents from the sewer-dwelling menace.
