Saturday Nightmares is a celebration of horror in all its handmade glory—bringing together fans, collectors, and creators for a one-day event packed with monsters, mayhem, and movie magic.

We’re especially calling on FX artists, mask makers, prop builders, and creature creators to showcase and sell their work. This is your stage—whether you’re casting latex limbs, sculpting snarling beasts, or painting up screen-worthy gore.

We also welcome vendors of:

  • Horror art & collectibles

  • Vintage toys & media

  • Apparel, jewelry, and handmade oddities

  • Masks, props, puppets, prints, and more

Vendor space at Saturday Nightmares is limited and curated to ensure a high-quality, genre-focused experience for attendees.

We are hand-selecting vendors whose work aligns with the spirit of the event—whether that’s horror-themed art, original FX creations, collectibles, props, or unique merchandise that fits our aesthetic and audience.

Submitting an application does not guarantee placement. All vendors will be reviewed, and selected applicants will be contacted with next steps.

Thank you for understanding—and for helping us keep Saturday Nightmares a one-of-a-kind experience.
