Description
HorrorHound Weekend: Cincinnati, March 20-22nd, 2026
This three-day event will be the largest Cincinnati HorrorHound Weekend to date, thanks to the newly renovated Sharonville Convention Center. With a vendor ballroom that is now double in space, we will not be doubling vendors – to assure quality is of our utmost focus for attending fans. This special 20th anniversary event also sees the return of HorrorHound Underground – a throwback Drive-in / Grindhouse centric ballroom with dozens of new artists and vendors.
- Each passes gives wearer access to all normal show offerings, including vendor and celebrity hall, photo op areas, film festival, Underground, and the Q&A panel room.
- Access to the HorrorHound Food Court. Yes, the HorrorHound Food Court! We host many of Cincinnati (and local area's) finest food vendors, including Skyline Chili, Nerdy BBQ, Chicken Mac Truck, The Poutine Machine, Chamoda’s Candy Café, Maui Wowie, and more!
- Access to Friday Night's Scareoke Party. Who doesn't love Karaoke!?!?
- Weekend passholders have access to our Night Terrors after hour events, which feature popular musical acts and additional entertainment. Past acts include such names as Corey Taylor, Amigo the Devil, John 5 & the Creatures, Blitzkid, Mushroomhead, Calabrese, Twiztid, Harley Poe, Nekromantix, Koffin Kats, The Undead, Mummula, The Big Bad, G Tom Mac, and many others. Night Terrors is free to weekend passholders, as capacity allows.
- And not to forget – a weekend pass to HorrorHound Weekend also gains you access to HorrorHound Rewind, an online after-show event which features recorded Q&A panels, at-the-show interviews, and film screenings of many of the features and shorts that make up the HorrorHound Film Festival. A perfect way to catch anything you may have missed during the weekend itself.

Event
HorrorHound Weekend - March 2026
ChokeHold is a short horror film set during a brutal Midwestern winter. A woman wakes on the bank of a freezing river, her body alive but wrong. Rot clings to her bones, grief to what remains of her heart. Guided by instinct and unfinished devotion, she returns to the home of her wife’s deeply religious family. There, she finds the woman she loves still breathing, but suffocating beneath faith, and expectation. As the boundaries between love and intrusion blur, the revenant confronts a home that allowed grief to fester into control. The encounter ends in violence when her lover’s father defends belief with a shotgun.
