We live in Fear, Fear of failure, commitment, each other, and the beyond.

It's one of the few things that unites us all.

Salem, Massachusetts knows this more than most which is why Salem Horror Festival

return this October to explore societal themes of fear and anxiety in the

Halloween capital of the world.

Prepare yourself for two weeks of terror with screenings, panels, podcast, special guest,

parties, premieres, and more in the haunted and historic witch city.

Raise Hell with Lene Quigley and George C. Romero.

Congered demons with the faculty of horror and repent before the latest film from

Darren Lynn Bowsman. Behold Wolfman's Nards with Monster Squad's Andre Gower and relive your kinder trauma for the New England premiere of the scary stories documentary.

Yours truly, Ryan Turc will present the opening night keynote speech on October 4th, followed by the 30th anniversary celebration of Alvira, Mistress of the Dark with

Cassandra Peterson. Tickets and weekend passes are available now. To overcome fear, we must

first understand it. Visit Salem horror.com.

And I got to tell you, I am very, very excited to deliver the keynote speech,

but I'm also very excited to just talk to Cassandra Peterson on stage.

That is cool. Today's going to be a good time.
