Event Review: Monster-Mania-March 8-10, 2024 Cherry Hill, NJ

Horror fans are always prepared.  If you need a paint pen, an extra eyeliner because you forgot yours. Monster-Mania 58: The 58th Semi Annual Philadelphia Horror Film & Memorabilia Convention kicked off on Friday, March 8, 2024. Horror fans from all over the country, and all walks of life made their way to The DoubleTree Hilton Hotel located in Cherry Hill, NJ. The next Monster-Mania will be August 2nd to the 4th featuring Robert Englund (You may want to bring friends and find snacks for that line. I remember my first Robert Englund experience and the fact that his line wrapped around the entire hotel.) Oh, and the AMAZING, Clive Barker. There is a new location for Monster-Mania in Maryland.  It’s October 4-6, 2024 at Inner Harbor Baltimore Hilton Hotel, and Monster-Mania is coming back to Oaks, PA, November 9-10, 2024 at The Greater Philly Expo Center.
