The Montréal Monstrum Society (MMS) is a Montréal-based collective of horror scholars, researchers, and filmmakers, offering courses in horror and related genres in cinema, television, literature, and other media. MMS instructors are established and developing scholars, artists, curators, programmers, writers, and filmmakers who volunteer their time to create and contribute to courses and lectures for the Montréal community.

The Montréal Monstrum Society was founded in 2017 by Mario DeGiglio-Bellemare and Kristopher Woofter, the former co-directors (from 2013-2017) of the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, Montréal.
The MMS mandate is to provide the Montréal community access to scholarly approaches to horror and related genres in the interest of encouraging critical analysis and debate, and building community. We welcome everyone, from the hardcore fans to the mildly curious.
MMS courses, lectures, and events are open to anyone interested, and are free of charge. MMS also publishes a peer-reviewed academic journal, Monstrum. Learn more about this initiative on the Journal page. |
