Monster Fest is the annual one-day horror convention held at the Chesapeake Central Library in Virginia for fans of classic horror in film and literature.

Begun in 2003 by Rob Floyd and artist Clayton Sayre, and continued by Rob and Phyllis Floyd, Monster Fest is a day of vendors, panel discussions, special guests, a costume contest, live music, trick-or-treating for all kids in costume, and movie screenings! Monster Fest 19 will be held on Saturday, October 7, 2023.

“I’ve been to every Monster Fest since the very first one and it keeps getting better each year. The folks who run it have become my extended family. I look forward to meeting new friends, too. I wouldn’t miss Monster Fest for the World…in this or any alternate universe!”
– Craig T. Adams, from the Doctor Madblood TV Show and Fuzz and Stuffing Puppets
