What is Monster Fest?
Monster Fest is the annual one-day horror convention held in early October at the Chesapeake Central Library in Virginia for fans of classic horror in film and literature.
Monster Fest 8 will be held on Saturday, October 1, 2011.
Doors open at 9:00 am.
Started in 2003 by Rob Floyd and artist Clayton Sayre, Monster Fest grows bigger and better each year
with vendors, panel discussions, special guests, a costume contest, trick-or-treating for all kids in costume, and a horror movie marathon (see line-up below).
The Munsters Coach will also be making an appearance this year!
Monster Fest is the only classic horror event in southeastern Virginia!
Did we mention it is 100% FREE and open to the public?
