Horror Hotel 2025 Recap: Screams, Scenes, and Tailgate Dreams!

Just got back from Horror Hotel 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio, and let me tell you, this year’s fest brought the chills, the thrills, and some of the wildest indie horror I’ve seen in a long time. It was a weekend packed with passion, blood (on screen, thankfully), and a whole lot of creative fire.

I had the pleasure of meeting some truly amazing filmmakers, each one bringing their own twisted vision to life. From gut-wrenching shorts to mind-bending features, the lineup didn’t disappoint, and yes, I saw some horrifying stuff in the best way possible.

A huge shout-out to everyone who showed up, screamed loud, and partied even louder at the 4LCMP tailgate afterparties. You brought the vibes, the weirdness, and the late-night karaoke chaos! That parking lot will never be the same 😎

Stay tuned, interviews with some of these killer creatives will be hitting the site soon. If you were at Horror Hotel, you already know. If you weren’t? Well, there’s always next year.

Keep it creepy, and see you all very soon!
