In a recent Facebook post, Eerie Horror Fest has announced that 2026 will solely be a planning year for the festival. During the dedicated planning year, the organization will be working to create a more thrilling and sustainable Eerie Horror Fest in 2027 when they return.

A number of changes that have yet to be announced are being made during this time to ensure that the Fest is an enjoyable experience for years to come.

The organization assures the public that although there will not be a full-scale Fest in 2026, they are still planning to host smaller programming and fundraising events throughout the year including the beloved Eerie Horror Fest Presents and other film events that will be announced at a later date.

“Stay spooky – we’re not done yet.” Stated the Facebook post, “All the best, Your Friends at the Fest.”
