Twin Cities Horror Festival is the longest running live performance horror festival in the nation, and we’re proud to be launching our fifteenth yearof onstage terror in 2026!
We believe horror is for everyone. TCHF is a juried festival whose goal is to feature the many facets of horror through varying creators across artistic disciplines (theatre, dance, cabaret, puppetry, short film festival, spooky kids programming, etc), while also creating a superb experience for our participants and patrons. Our artist-centric vision includes maximizing artist payouts by providing 100% of ticket sales to participating producers and awarding production fee assistance through our BIPOC Artist Fund.
