Do people at a horror-fan con have a need to make scary stories themselves? It seems like plenty of people are willing to make some for them.
The people who want story games most will either be people specifically interested in it as a craft and a hobby, or people who feel that making stories themselves is something that can help them get what they really want.
In the latter case I'm thinking sci-fi fans are a way better bet than horror fans. I can't think of any equivalent in the horror world to the campaign to save Farscape.
Also, on the pricing thing, I wonder if the word "game" doesn't make people think "childhood" and thereby make them forget that there's been 15 or so years of inflation since then.
