The NEPA Horror Fest began as the NEPA Horror Film Festival in October 2015 with an event at the River Street Jazz Cafe called “13 Short Films." We screened horror films from all around the world, including three locally-made films; it was a successful event with over 100 attendees.

Saturday August 15th, let us take you back in time and turn the movie screen at Circle Drive-In into your TV set in the 90s!

No TV Guide, no Prevue Channel, just get cozy and grab your favorite snack because NEPA Horror is holding the remote control! 📺🍿

What will you see? 1-900 commercials you were forbade to call? ☎️

Halloween candy commercials that made you want to kick Fay’s Drugs’ door down at midnight with your cousin’s BEAVIS mask on? 🍫

We’ll eventually stop channel surfing and find something to watch! Maybe we will get lucky and have the free trial of CINEMAX! 🫣

Beginning at 8:30 PM and curated by NEPA Horror, let’s turn the biggest drive-in screen in Pennsylvania into the TV set you hovered around with friends and siblings and let’s try to all feel that old magic again for a little while! 🪄

The Spooky Summer 2026 “Shriek-Over” TV Party! One full hour of Spooky and Fun 90s Nostalgia!

Spooky Summer 2026

Photos from NEPA Horror's post 06/07/2026

We are saddened to announce the news that Michael Ray Bower (Donkey Lips) has made the decision to cancel his appearance at Spooky Summer 2026. While we will miss him dearly at the event, we are very understanding of the circumstance and wish him nothing but the best!

Michael, when you’re back on your feet and ready to travel to these types of events again, there’s no doubt in our minds that you’ll absolutely crush it each time! Just know, we understand and care about you, and your fans care about you and you aren’t letting anyone down. Your friends and fans will always be here for you and you rule!

And to our attendees, be on the look out for new guest announcements from us. We understand that guest cancelations in these types of events can be frustrating, but we have a few things up our sleeves that we think you’ll be excited about!

At the end of the day, we are all human beings first, and health and safety is always the number one priority.

Take care of yourselves and thank you in advance for being understanding!

NEPA Horror: Spooky Summer 2026 06/04/2026

We want our vendors to have a great day, we want our guests to have a great day, we want the concession stand to have a great day, so…..

In celebration of yesterday’s guest announcement, we put up a limited number of 50% off both General Admission & Car Load tickets. Use promo code “MidnightSociety” on either ticket!

Once they’re gone, they’re gone, and if you miss this promotion, don’t worry…we will probably do a similar one in July.
