An incredible event happens early every March in Oklahoma City called
the Underground Monster Carnival-a one day gathering of fandom and
horror geeks. Hosted by Art and Stephanie Sunday, this year marks the
fifth anniversary of the event and it just keeps getting bigger and
better. Packing an entire building at the OKC fairgrounds, it is a
gathering of local vendors, artists, authors, and cos players who's
interest lies in horror/fantasy/sci-fi and all things fandom.
It is a place where you can meet legendary horror host Count Gregore and spend the day visiting all the vendor booths with crafts and art to sell. The atmosphere is very casual making it more like a social gathering than a crowded crush of humanity at other events. You get to spend the time to talk with other fans and artists.that share your interest.
Another cool aspect of UMC is the incredible cosplay. Each year it gets better.
For me, Underground Monster Carnival is one of my favorite annual events and I go to a lot of conventions. I love selling books to fans, old and new, and the personal time I get to spend with my readers and fellow authors. Thanks Art and Stephanie for putting on such a great show. See you next year.
