Carnival of Darkness: The Haunted Pamlico Film Festival goes roaring, snarling, and snapping into its eighth year! In 2026, once again, the carnival falls under the banner of the Haunted Pamlico Halloween Festival, and operates alongside the Smoke on the Water barbecue festival. Find us Oct. 16-17 at the Turnage Theater and elsewhere in downtown Washington. Scheduled events include live music, a film premiere, a Halloween variety show, scare experiences, costume contests, concessions by Arts of the Pamlico, and much more to be revealed. Tickets go on sale June 1.
