Panic Fest was founded in 2013 by Screenland Theater and Downright Creepy. The fest enters its 13th year as one of the top genre festivals in the world. This year we once again provide a virtually option to attendees all over the United States via the Eventive platform in addition to our in person festival which features enhanced safety protocols.

Our festival is held at the historic Screenland Theater. The theater has a rich 100+ year history and features 4 theaters that range from 250 seats to 45 seats for our smaller modern theaters.
