Nightmare in Vegas returns to Silverton Casino Lodge for its second year on October 10th and 11th, 2026, bringing together horror fans, celebrity guests, artists, vendors, classic cars, paranormal programming, and live entertainment. The two-day outdoor horror convention runs from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM on Saturday and 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Sunday.
Created by Las Vegas locals Amy Acevedo and Darlene Seguin, Nightmare in Vegas combines the atmosphere of a horror convention with an outdoor festival and classic car show. Visitors can spend the weekend meeting guests, shopping from horror-themed vendors, exploring spooky displays, and watching live entertainment.
Celebrity Guests and Horror Programming
Celebrity appearances are part of the Nightmare in Vegas experience, with guests available for select photos, autographs, and scheduled programming. The final celebrity lineup and appearance schedule may change as the event approaches.
The weekend also includes horror panels and paranormal programming for fans interested in supernatural stories, investigations and the stranger side of Las Vegas entertainment.
Horror Vendors, Artists and Collectibles
More than 50 vendors are expected to participate, creating a large shopping area filled with horror-themed merchandise, original artwork, collectibles, apparel and handmade products.
The event strongly emphasizes independent artists and small businesses, giving horror fans a chance to find unusual pieces while supporting local and specialty vendors.
Classic Cars and Miss Nightmare in Vegas
The Horror & Classic Car Show adds another major attraction to the weekend. Guests can check out classic vehicles and spooky custom builds while moving between the vendor and entertainment areas.
The Miss Nightmare in Vegas Spooky Pinup Pageant also returns as part of the festival, blending vintage pinup style with Halloween and horror-inspired looks.
Live Music and the Koffin Kats
Live entertainment is scheduled throughout the weekend, with music adding to the festival atmosphere. The event’s Ultimate VIP package includes backstage photo and signature access with Koffin Kats.
