Monsterama Con is back for its 10th year, and it is time to celebrate. The Atlanta Hilton NorthEast hosts the event that takes place Oct. 27-29, 2023. It will feel like a blast from the past with actors, writers, directors, and musicians who remind us of the fun movies and TV shows we’ve enjoyed. This con is proud to be Atlanta’s only retro horror and sci-fi convention. The organizers and attendees celebrate retro fantastic film, television, art, literature, comics, and media. They love to share our sense of wonder with everyone and go the extra mile to do it.
Monsterama’s events are filled with actual film screenings, gaming, talks given by special guests, demonstrations, social events, and Friday night’s live performance by film composer Alan Howarth. There is even a Monster Prom and a Late Night Nerd Fight! Along with photo ops and autographs, there will be exhibits and plenty of panels. Godzilla fans will enjoy the Kaiju programming where experts, authors, and fans discuss all things monsters! Everyone who attends is invited – no VIP-level chicanery.
