The ”100 Years of Monster Movies” Celebration – in a nutshell
100 Years of Monster Movies is a yearlong multimedia event that celebrates a century of a very specific movie genre that is both terrifying and fun: the monster movie.
In 1910, famous inventor Thomas Edison produced the first monster movie, a short version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, to provide content for his new invention, the motion picture projector.* A hundred years later, it is still an enduring genre, one which continues to frighten and fascinate, attracting a unique blend of fans.
What to expect during the year
From now until Halloween, we will celebrate the genre at conventions, online, through merchandising programs, at film festivals , through contests and giveaways and in some of the better genre publications.
Join our email list, follow us on any of the social media channels or subscribe to our RSS feed and you’ll be notified of things as they happen.

It is intended for monster fans of all ages and levels of expertise. A whole new generation of monster fans can learn about characters and movies, meet other fans, make new friends, discover other websites, conline communities, conventions and many other things that will enrich their newfound passion.
In turn, experts who have studied the genre their whole lives can find a new place to share their knowledge with younger fans, promote their work , raise awareness of their appearances or releases.
It’s a big tent and the only requirement for entry is a total love for all things monster: movies, books, television shows, model kits, toys, masks, costumes, games and more!
