Nightmare in the Ozarks 2026
We are super excited to be vendors this year at Nightmare in the Ozarks 2026. There were so many amazing movies last year. I absolutely cannot wait to watch more. I am a HUGE horror movie nerd and am so excited to create horror-specific jewelry. It has been way too long.
Last year we went as spectators and to meet our lovely friends, Adrian Tofei and Duru Yucel who debuted their movie “We Put the World to Sleep“.
This event takes place during the busiest time of the year. The Eureka Springs Zombie Crawl also happens this weekend, so be sure to dress as a zombie and join in the parade. It is lots of fun!
