Controversial “Mad Monster” Convention Kicks Off

CONCORD, N.C. – The popular local horror convention Mad Monster Party is underway in Concord but not without controversy.

In January, the event announced that Kevin Spacey is headlining as a celebrity guest. Some were not happy the embattled actor would be there.

WCCB didn’t see any protestors at the event on Friday, but attendees said they are weary of his presence there.

“I’m in here and if I see him, I will be very glad to see him. But at the same time, I understand the allegations against him,” one person said. “Mad Monster is an amazing thing that I’m glad I’m at, and whether or not he’s here doesn’t stop how awesome this convention is. 

The Mad Monster Party 2024 runs through Sunday, February 18th at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Concord.
