Since 2017, Salem Horror Fest has brought thousands of visitors to Salem to celebrate the work of hundreds of filmmakers, performers, and writers working across the horror arts. As we look toward our ninth festival (April 30-May 3, 2026), we remain committed to championing bold, inclusive voices in horror while continuing to expand  the festival’s national and international profile.

Each year, Salem Horror Fest attracts a highly engaged audience that comes specifically for Salem’s unique relationship to horror, history, and storytelling. Festivalgoers spend several days exploring the city — attending screenings and live events while also supporting local businesses, cultural institutions, and independent shops throughout their stay.

We would love to offer you the opportunity to help amplify the festival’s mission to inclusive horror audiences across Massachusetts, North America, and around the world. By becoming a sponsor of Salem Horror Fest 2026, your business can connect directly with hundreds of on-site attendees, as well as a wider online audience focused on the festival and the city during the event.
