The Overlook Film Festival is a celebration of all things horror, showcasing exciting work in new and classic horror cinema, live events, and immersive interactive activities. Dubbed “a summer camp for horror fans,” the four-day event is fittingly located in and around the famously haunted French Quarter, home to some of America’s most legendary paranormal tales.

Screenings will take place at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre and at the nearby Regal Cinemas Cinebarre Canal Place 9 Movie Theater.

Bang!, Amos: A Play With Music), Eric Hoff (DryCraeft Los Angeles, Thinkwell Group, Amos: A Play with Music), and Tommy Honton (Stash House, Museum of Selfies).
