Application Process 

Our Expo is a showcase of all things Wicked and Weird...taken to the next level. We want vendors who specialize in all things dark, horror, the occult etc. If you consider yourself a 'master of macabre' you will feel right at home at The Nightmare Expo!

 

We only have this expo once a year and vendor space is limited. If you're not accepted into the 2026 expo, we still encourage you to apply for future dates as applications become available.

 

Submitting this application is free! After you submit, your application will go through a curation process and you will receive an application update within 40 days. Wether accepted, or not, you will be emailed of our decision. 

​

**UPDATE AS OF 9/1/2025*

 

Hello everyone!

We are currently still processing vendor applications for the 2026 expo. In the spirit of transparency, we had over 300+ applications, and are diligently going through every single one. 

 

We are floored by the number of interested parties and the incredible talent, creativity, and authenticity you all behold - making the curating process no easy feat! 

​

We know some of you have been waiting patiently for a response, and we are still committed to responding to each applicant individually as soon as possible.  Thank you for your continued support, patience, and genuine interest in The Nightmare Expo. 

​

Talk to you all soon! 

​

Sincerely 

​

The Nightmare Expo
