The Annual Holiday of Horror is more than a performer—it's a pulse in Chicago's metal scene. Originating as a yearly festival in 1998, this event has grown from its Fireside Bowl roots into a beloved two-room experience hosted by The Chicago Metal Factory at Reggies in the South Loop. The festival runs two simultaneous rooms, Rock Club and Music Joint, with a rotating lineup of heavy bands. Tickets typically grant access to both spaces, giving fans a full night of relentless riffs and dark energy.
