Carolina Fear Fest 2024

Carolina Fear Fest is more than just another horror convention; it's a three-day celebration of all things horror, taking place over Memorial Day weekend in Raleigh, NC. As an event that caters to real horror enthusiasts, this festival boasts a lineup that includes horror movie celebrity guests who will engage in meet and greet sessions, autograph signings, and Q&A's. The horror obsession floods into every corner of the event with unique shopping experiences for horror-themed art, sculptures, jewelry, clothing, and collectibles, all curated from exceptional artists, crafters, and collectors. Not just limited to on-screen terror, the Carolina Fear Fest also encompasses other realms of fear and thrill. A dedicated horror gaming area invites you to explore social games, tabletop gaming, and even a nerve-wracking escape room. Screen-used and replicas from illustrious horror movies and TV shows are showcased in the 'Hell on Wheels' horror car show. The excitement seeps well into the night with a separately-ticketed after-party event "Cocktails & Cadavers". Set in the expansive NC State Fairgrounds, rechristened as the "Feargrounds" for the weekend, the Carolina Fear Fest promises an experience oozing horror, excitement, and a real sense of community for horror buffs.
