What Is Haunted House FearFest?

Haunted House FearFest is more than a festival — it’s a living horror multiverse.

Originally launched as a festival, Haunted House FearFest was acquired by Renee Huff in 2022 and reimagined into a year-round, cross-media horror multiverse designed like a haunted house: room by room, season by season. Today, it showcases independent horror films, video games, TikTok horror shorts, and original art from creators around the world — all living inside a shared creative ecosystem.

Under Renee’s ownership and creative direction, FearFest has evolved beyond a single event into a modular storytelling platform and incubator for horror IP. The House is built to support bold voices, strange visions, and experimental formats — without forcing creators into one medium or path. Stories are encouraged to expand, mutate, and move between rooms.

The Haunted House Structure

Haunted House FearFest unfolds across three core seasonal tentpoles:

🧊 Frozen Wing (Winter)

A curated winter exhibition featuring atmospheric, experimental, and slow-burn horror across film, games, shorts, and art. Open from January through early spring.

🔥 Heatwave (Summer)

A high-energy seasonal showcase spotlighting bold, unconventional, and genre-bending horror designed to keep the fear alive outside of October.

🕯️ October Festival

The flagship, month-long celebration every October — featuring official selections, premieres, community events, live and virtual programming, and awards across film, games, and digital horror.

New rooms open throughout the year, allowing the multiverse to grow organically.

What We Showcase

Haunted House FearFest welcomes horror in all its forms, including:

  • Independent horror films (shorts & features)

  • Horror video games

  • TikTok and short-form horror storytelling

  • Horror art and visual experiments

From psychological and paranormal to camp, surreal, gothic, gory, and genre-defying — if it looks creepy, it must be cool.

Why the Multiverse Exists

For creators, Haunted House FearFest is a place to be seen, supported, and taken seriously — whether you’re launching a first short, releasing an indie game, experimenting with TikTok horror, or developing a larger world.

For fans, it’s an always-open house of creepy-cool discoveries.

For industry, Haunted House FearFest is a pipeline for emerging horror IP — stories that can grow from shorts to features, from TikTok to Twitch, from indie games to global franchises.
