Underground Monster Carnival 3

The Zombie Pope is hungry!
Halloween may happen on Oct. 31, but it's revisited again on the first Saturday of March. That's when something amazing happens in Oklahoma City. It's the Underground Monster Carnival hosted by Art and Stephenie Sunday! This single day event is not your regular horror convention with fans standing in lines to get autographs from movie and television celebrities. It's more of an arts and crafts show for the horror freak. The large building is packed full of vendors carrying everything from spooky-themed clothing, paintings, jewelry, books etc.

Happy to pick up the entire Trilogy of Terror.

It's a place where the fan can come and hobnob with independent artists, authors, performers, and craft makers. Even with the threat of a winter storm looming, the they lined up to get inside the show. Each year it get's bigger with more people showing up. UMC is also a great time for me to connect with fans of my books and to meet new readers as well.. I spent all day talking to people and informing them about my books and upcoming projects.

The most amazing thing about this year's show was the costumes. They were simply wonderful.  Definitely more cos players this year than any show before. Here is only a small sampling of what was at the event.

Do you need any better reason to attend UMC?




 What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon then with incredible fans? Kudos to Art and Stephenie and all those who helped put on a great show. They are keeping horror alive and well in Oklahoma.  Can't wait till next year.
