ATTEND
Watch ACCESS:HORROR 2026
One festival, three ways to get your horror fix. Join us in a dark cinema, take the full program home with you on FilmChief, or catch selected shorts rising again on Shudder. Pick the way you want to watch. Access information sits right alongside each option, so the only thing you have to hunt for is what to watch next.
IN CINEMA
September 25th — Alamo Drafthouse Winchester, Virginia, as part of Lost Weekend.
Start the festival in a dark room with other horror people. Access:Horror presents a night of selected short films hosted by Kat & Jazzmin of Girl, That’s Scary!, followed by filmmaker Q&As and conversations that keep going after the credits.
ONLINE
October — November 1st on FilmChief.
The complete Access:Horror program comes crawling online, with films, panels and filmmaker Q&As available across the festival window. Watch from home, watch in stages, pause when you need to, or disappear down the whole rabbit hole at once. Your screen. Your schedule. Your horror.
STREAM ON SHUDDER
December 1st — January 31st.
Selected Access:Horror shorts rise again on Shudder for the darkest stretch of winter. If you missed them during the festival, or simply want another encounter, settle in for two months of disabled-led horror.
