Horror For The Holidays Tickets

Horror For The Holidays (HFTH) began in 2014 as a quaint Christmas market with a chilling twist and has grown into Austin's biggest, longest-running horror-themed holiday event. This performer-led experience blends festive fright with immersive attractions, indie vendors, and spooky performers, creating a weekend you won’t forget. HFTH is known for its signature blend of seasonal creep, hands-on experiences, and community-driven horror culture in the heart of Austin, Texas.

As an official standout in the Austin arts scene, HFTH earned recognition in 2019 from the Austin Chronicle’s Best of Austin awards for Shopping – 'Best Nightmare in time for Christmas!' The event is more than a show; it’s a curated experience that pairs Halloween vibes with holiday cheer, all under one roof.

HFTH is produced and promoted in collaboration with the Blood Over Texas film community, which expands the experience with film panels, Q&As, and screenings that run alongside the main event. This partnership helps showcase horror cinema and independent horror voices to fans visiting from across Central Texas and beyond.

Upcoming HFTH editions continue to evolve, with 2025 hosting at Palmer Events Center and 2026 planning a move to Hilton Austin Downtown, ensuring ample room for immersive attractions, a wide vendor hall, and dedicated festive horror experiences. Whether you’re a longtime horror aficionado or a curious first-timer, HFTH promises a accessible, non-scare-overload vibe that keeps fans coming back year after year.
