Los Angeles, CA — SleuthFest, Hollywood’s newest celebration of mystery, suspense, and noir storytelling across live performance and film, arrives on both stage and screen from February 19 through March 1, 2026 at the Hobgoblin Playhouse’s new location in the heart of Hollywood’s Sunset Square. Presented by The StageCrafts, this inaugural edition invites audiences and creators alike to uncover secrets, confront conspiracies, and enjoy classic suspense tales in an immersive festival atmosphere.

In an increasingly noisy digital world, one thing remains true: your audience can’t support you if they don’t know you exist. Whether you’re an independent artist, a small business, or a theatrical producer trying to fill seats, the right advertising placement can be the difference between “maybe someday” and “sold out tonight.”

The team behind SpookyFest is proud to announce the winners of its inaugural SpookyFest Film Festival, which celebrates celebrating both bold new voices and fear-forging veterans across the horror spectrum from psychological dread to creature features and midnight-movie mayhem. Selected from ten official selections out of nineteen submissions from the United States, Canada, and South Korea, this year’s honorees impressed with inventive storytelling, technical finesse, and genuine scares.
