Welcome to the inaugural Sinister Pop-Up Market!
Thank you for your interest in participating in the inaugural Sinister Market.
On October 17th, 2026 from 12PM to 6PM, the Historic Colonial Theatre and its surrounding grounds will transform into an immersive celebration of horror culture unlike anything else in the region.
Outside, the Sinister Market will feature more than 50 carefully curated vendors, creating a vibrant marketplace filled with horror art, collectibles, apparel, literature, handmade creations, oddities, home décor, and everything wonderfully strange.
Inside the Historic Colonial Theatre, guests will spend the day enjoying an all day horror film festival, appearances by horror celebrities, filmmakers and authors, special presentations, exclusive programming, and an evening performance by Nevermore Gorelesque.
Rather than a traditional vendor event, the Sinister Market is designed as one chapter of a fully immersive horror weekend. Guests will move between the outdoor marketplace and the Historic Colonial Theatre throughout the day, discovering new creators, meeting special guests, watching independent films, attending live presentations, and experiencing unforgettable entertainment from morning through night.
Our goal is to create a destination where shopping becomes part of a larger horror experience, one that celebrates independent artists, filmmakers, authors, performers, small businesses, and the passionate community that makes horror feel like home.
By participating in the Sinister Market, vendors become more than exhibitors. They become part of the atmosphere, the storytelling, and the experience that thousands of horror fans will remember long after the weekend ends.

While AI may be used as a tool during portions of a creative workflow, vendors whose products consist of AI generated artwork presented as original or brokered artwork may not be accepted. Our goal is to support artists and creators whose craftsmanship, originality, and personal creative vision remain at the heart of their work.
Applications are reviewed based on originality, product quality, presentation, professionalism, and how well each vendor complements the overall atmosphere and experience of the event. Due to limited space, submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.
