Flint, Michigan is no stranger to the macabre. With the city’s annual Zombie Walk and Vertigo Theatrics ‘ yearly Vampire Ball, residents have already proven that they share an interest in everything scary. With the increasing film industry interest in Michigan as a whole, it was only a matter of time before Flint got its own horror convention.
