Las Vegas locals Amy Acevedo and Darlene Seguin produce an independent outdoor horror convention and classic car show.
Classic cars and horror culture share the grounds at Nightmare in Vegas. Amy Acevedo and Darlene Seguin, two Las Vegas locals and lifelong horror fans, created the independently operated event in 2025. The convention combines a marketplace, entertainment and fan programming in an outdoor setting.
Built by local fans
The founders describe starting the event from the ground up as small-business owners. Their aim was to bring artists, vendors, entertainers and fans into one gathering, with space for Halloween culture, the paranormal and vintage cars.
Its first edition established the mix of celebrity guests, live entertainment, photo opportunities and a classic car show. The Miss Nightmare in Vegas pinup pageant became another part of the program. The founders’ own account emphasizes support for the independent creators and businesses participating in the event.
The next edition
Nightmare in Vegas is scheduled to return to Silverton on October 10 and 11, 2026. FOX5’s August coverage independently confirmed the dates and the organizers, reporting an expanded celebrity lineup, live music, a horror maze and a paranormal panel.
The current ticket page offers separate day admission and weekend options, with different packages for visitors seeking additional access. Its published program includes horror vendors and artists, themed photo opportunities and the car show alongside the music and guest appearances.
Artists, car owners and performers have their own submission routes on the event website. Vendor registration is separate from attending as a guest, an important distinction for a small business considering a booth.
The venue is a host location for the convention, while Acevedo and Seguin operate the event itself. Because guests and programming can change, the organizer’s current ticket and announcement pages should guide plans. The published event email is available for questions that the website does not answer.
