Who Are We?

The Flint Monster Society’s mission is to bring a little more affordable weirdness to the Flint and Mid-Michigan area, so keep your peepers peeled for what we’re up to. We’re cheap and weird, and that’s how we like it!

Who Started This Thing?

Hey, I am Chris Ringler, a writer, podcaster, filmmaker, and weirdo living in Mid-Michigan. I have been putting together horror conventions, film festivals, and arts and culture events in and around Flint, Michigan, since 2011, and art shows for years before then. I started the Flint Monster Society as an outlet to do weird, cheap-as-free horror events here in Flint to help keep things strange.

We all need some inexpensive fun, and that’s what this is all about. That, and helping the creatives who use art for a side income to get their work in front of folks. As a creative myself and a horror fan, I think there’s a need for more affordable options focused on fans and fun, and not on big-budget guests. I am a one-man show, doing this on my dime and with my passion. I hope you’ll come check out what we’re doing.

If you have any questions, concerns, sponsorship, venues, ideas, or cryptid sightings to report just shoot the FMS an email – flintmonstersociety@gmail.com
