Houston Horror Film Festival Tickets

Houston Horror Film Festival (HHFF) is Houston’s flagship horror film convention and expo, founded by Troy Escamilla and Tony Rodriguez after they connected at Texas Frightmare Weekend in 2017. Their goal was to bring a major horror event to Houston, blending screenings, Q&As, panels, and a bustling vendor hall featuring 100+ vendors, artists, and creators. HHFF wraps each year with an awards ceremony honoring the best films, scores, directors, and actors in the genre.

Held at the Houston Marriott Westchase, HHFF draws horror fans from across the region for a dedicated weekend of scares, stories, and community. The next edition is scheduled for Aug 8–10, 2025, with the 2026 edition planned for Aug 7–9. Secure your seats early for a streamlined, friendly experience—we’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re a seasoned horror aficionado or new to the genre, HHFF offers a comprehensive experience: screenings of cutting-edge and beloved titles, intimate Q&As with filmmakers and talent, engaging panels, and a robust exhibitor hall where you can meet artists and creators face-to-face.
