What is Halaloween? Halaloween screens horror films from across the globe that were made by, for, or about Muslims, to understand: “What scares Muslim audiences? Are horror movies halal?” This year’s 2026 film festival is bringing back some of our favorites from the years. Halaloween will start off in Dearborn on Thursday Oct 8th with a screening of Madayen, head to Ann Arbor for Under the Shadow at the State Theatre on Oct 13 & Tiger Stripes on Oct 20th, then we will have a panel on Oct 27th & close out in Detroit for Devil's Night on October 29th. The festival is free in-person and online–but make sure to reserve tickets! In-person screenings will be first-come, first-served with RSVPs strongly encouraged. This festival is curated by the Halaloween team: Aliyah Khan, Karla Mallette, and Hana Mattar.
