Welcome to the Society!

Who We Are? – 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, my name is Chris, a writer, podcaster, filmmaker, and weirdo living in Mid-Michigan. I have been putting together horror conventions, film festivals, and events in and around Flint, Michigan for over a decade. I started the Flint Monster Society as an outlet to do weird, cheap-as-free horror events here in Flint and hope you’ll come check out what we’re doing.

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

Look at us, we’re fancy! We’re on the Facebook!

This page is where I will post all of the upcoming events and neat things the Flint Monster Society is up to. Keep coming back to keep up to date.

As of this moment, there are no plans for further events.

Thanks.
