Monster-Mania Con is a semi-annual horror film and memorabilia fan convention held in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Hunt Valley, Maryland, and Oaks, Pennsylvania, United States since 2003. It is mainly focused on its guest panels, where fans can meet horror movie actors. It is a three-day event held from spring to autumn at the Cherry Hill Hotel (formerly Crowne Plaza) in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Delta Hotel Marriott in Hunt Valley, Maryland, and The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania.[1]

Monster-Mania Con was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Monster-Mania Con was hosted outdoors in Oaks, Pennsylvania on May 22, 2021.[2]

History[]

During a car ride, Dave Hagan and his son were building the idea of a horror convention. By the end of the ride, the two had come up with the main structure for Monster-Mania.[3] Monster-Mania was founded in 1999 by Dave Hagan, through Dave Hagan Enterprises, dedicated to the memory of Hagan's father, who introduced him to horror movies. Its first convention was held on late 2003, in Clarion Hotel and Conference Center in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The lineup included Doug Bradley (who would become a regular for Monster-Mania Con), Caroline Munro, Ben Chapman, Veronica Carlson, amongst many others.[4]

Events[]

Monster-Mania Con's main focus is on its guest panels, where one can meet actors from film, television, amongst more. There are also film presentations, previews, photo ops, music performances, and Q&As with select guests, along with a celebrity auction.
