Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors convention took place at the Burbank Hilton this past weekend and iF Magazine was there for a panel with helmer Guillermo Del Toro who was out promoting "Pan's Labyrinth" which scored a stunning 25-minute standing ovation at Cannes.

Of course as its a genre con, talk soon turned towards the "Hellboy" sequel and what chance it has now that Sony has essentially given up on continuing the franchise: "We're moving studios right now. They don't have a deal with Sony any more and we are looking for financing for HELLBOY 2. It's at Paramount right now. It's bigger in scale, but not necessarily in budget. Abe Sapien has a much bigger part, and we're keeping closer to the mythology of the comics" says Del Toro.

With glee, Del Toro also revealed that "There is a song by Barry Manilow, and you'll have to find out about how that fits in. I know you are all saying 'what the f**k is that?!"
