HOUSECORE HORROR FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS AS PART OF THE GREAT NOLA TRENDKILL WEEKEND
Horror and metal reunite in New Orleans
New Orleans will host two events bringing together horror cinema and extreme metal from November 19–21, 2026. Returning after a hiatus, the Housecore Horror Film Festival will take place alongside the previously announced The Great NOLA Trendkill weekend, with PANTERA and DOWN frontman Philip H. Anselmo curating the festival's film selection.
The Housecore Horror programme will feature special guest introductions, meet-and-greets, and pop-up shops selling Housecore merchandise. The festival will kick off on Thursday, November 19, with a special event at the renowned New Orleans venue Tipitina's. The evening will include a listening party for DOWN's new release "Volume V", alongside performances by SUPLECS, SPIRIT IN THE ROOM, and NEST.
The standard festival ticket package includes admission to the opening show at Tipitina's, as well as early entry to the film screenings and special presentations taking place at Lakefront Arena on November 20 and 21. The package also grants access to the after-shows at Santos Bar in the historic French Quarter on both nights, along with an exclusive Housecore Horror merchandise bundle.
There is one important detail to keep in mind: the Housecore Horror Film Festival package does not include admission to The Great NOLA Trendkill concert. Separate ticket arrangements apply to the two events. Housecore Horror Film Festival tickets are available through this link.
WHITE ZOMBIE's former bassist Sean Yseult will also be among the event's special guests. Attending with her new book, "I'm In The Band", Yseult will offer a limited number of photo opportunities. Packages including an autographed copy of the book and a photo op will also be available. Book collection and photo sessions will take place at Lakefront Arena during the festival.
A special video message from Philip H. Anselmo addressed to attendees has also been released as part of the event announcement.
