The city turns red this October as Horror Con, the Middle East’s largest horror festival, opens in Jeddah from Wednesday, October 15 to Wednesday, November 5. The event promises immersive and interactive entertainment through eight haunted house experiences designed to engage fans of horror and thrill-seekers alike.
Horror Con is organised as part of Jeddah Season 2025 and delivered by Sela, the entertainment and events company that plays a key role in executing the Jeddah Season programme.
Visitors can expect a series of themed attractions, including haunted mazes, arcade-style games, and adventure experiences. The festival’s eight featured experiences—Escape, Field Maze, Horror Hospital, Qaid Station, Qalat Wadrean, The Clown, The Dead Zone, and The Farm 2—each bring a distinct narrative designed to evoke suspense and engagement.
Entry is open to guests aged 12 and above, with those under 16 required to be accompanied by an adult. Due to the intensity of the attractions, the event is not recommended for individuals with certain health conditions, including heart disease, epilepsy, or panic disorders.
Alongside the main experiences, Horror Con will feature food and beverage areas for visitors to unwind after their adventures. With a range of activities blending creativity, storytelling, and technology, the event aims to position Jeddah as a regional hub for themed entertainment.
