Academy Museum Set to Spook Fans with Immersive Horror Exhibition

A new exhibit is coming to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles next year, promising an unforgettable journey into the world of horror. Dubbed "Horror Show," this immersive presentation will delve into the genre's profound influence on popular culture and its enduring legacy.

Visitors can embark on a thrilling adventure through six distinct hubs, each modeled after a well-known sub-genre: Religion, Science, Slasher, Ghosts, Gothic, and Psychological. Along the way, they'll encounter iconic films like Jordan Peele's Get Out, Ju-On, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Ridley Scott's Alien. The exhibit will also provide behind-the-scenes insights into the production of these movies, giving fans a deeper understanding of their storytelling and themes.

According to Jessica Niebel, senior exhibitions curator at the Academy Museum, horror has been an essential outlet for expression and social commentary throughout film history. "Horror Show" aims to showcase this profound impact on audiences worldwide, providing catharsis and community among horror enthusiasts.

However, fans won't be able to experience this exhibit until September 2026, with a scheduled run through July 2027. Tickets are not yet available for purchase that far in advance, but visitors can at least start planning their visit if they're based in LA or willing to travel.

The Academy Museum's "Horror Show" promises to be a must-see event for horror fans and newcomers alike. With its unique blend of immersive storytelling, behind-the-scenes insights, and iconic films, it's sure to be an unforgettable experience that will leave visitors shaken – but not stirred.

You know what gets me thinking about the human condition? How we all need a good scare every now and then. Horror movies, they're like this intense mirror held up to our darkest fears and anxieties... 🤯 It's wild how something that can be so terrifying can also bring us together as a community. I mean, who hasn't been on the edge of their seat watching a movie with friends, screaming at the screen? But what does it say about us when we're willing to put ourselves through that kind of emotional distress for the sake of entertainment? Is it escapism? Catharsis? Something more profound than just a thrill ride?
 
I'm super stoked about the new horror exhibit at the Academy Museum 🎃️! I mean, who doesn't love a good scare every now and then? But seriously, I think this is going to be a game-changer for horror fans. It's not just about jump scares and gore, but also about exploring the deeper themes and messages behind some of our favorite horror movies.

I'm obsessed with how they're breaking down different sub-genres into their own hubs – it's like a whole new level of depth to the exhibit! And can you imagine getting a behind-the-scenes look at some of these iconic films? It's going to be so cool to see the making-of stories and learn more about the creative process that went into creating those unforgettable scenes.

I do wish they were opening it up sooner, but September 2026 is still plenty of time to plan a trip. I'm definitely planning on being one of the first in line (or rather, trying to snag tickets ASAP) 🎟️. Bring on the scares and let's get ready for an unforgettable experience!

I'm not buying this...like, what's next? An exhibit about how scary screens are gonna make us? I mean, isn't the whole point of going to a museum to learn something new and expand your horizons? This "Horror Show" just seems like a bunch of overhyped nonsense to me. They're gonna charge people an arm and a leg for some dimly lit room with creepy decorations and a bunch of movie clips...and that's supposed to be "immersive"? Gimme a break
 
🎃 oh man, a horror exhibit at the Academy Museum? I'm both excited and terrified for my friends who are obsessed with all things spooky! 🕷️ six hubs of terror, huh? gonna be like navigating through a bad dream... can't wait to see how they're gonna make it feel immersive though - is this going to be a real scream... or just another film experience? 😂
 
OMG I am SOOO down for this!!! 🤯 A horror exhibit at the Academy Museum sounds like a dream come true! I mean, can you even imagine walking through an entire museum dedicated to the genre of horror?! It's going to be like stepping into my own personal nightmare (in a good way, obvs!) and getting to explore all the dark corners of our favorite scary movies. I'm talking Get Out, Ju-On, Dracula... the list goes on! And the fact that they're gonna give us behind-the-scenes peeks at how these movies were made is like, totally genius! I need to know more about how Jordan Peele got his start and how Ridley Scott brought Alien to life. Can't wait for this exhibit to open in 2026 🕷️
 
OMG, this is gonna be EPIC! 🤯 I'm already hyped just thinking about the immersive horror experience 😱. But seriously, have you guys ever stopped to think about how movies can be more than just entertainment? Like, horror movies in particular, they're not just meant to scare us (although that's part of the fun 🎃), but also to comment on our society and make us feel something deeper.

I love how the exhibit is going to show how horror has been a way for creators to express themselves and talk about important issues. It's like, our emotions are valid, even if we're not necessarily happy or safe 😊. So, this exhibit is like a big ol' hug for all the people who've ever felt scared or uncomfortable in their lives.

And, can I just say that the fact that it's gonna be open from 2026 to 2027? That's like, a whole year of being able to process and reflect on what you're experiencing 🤯. Not enough time to get bored or anxious 😅!
 
I'm like super stoked about this new exhibit at the Academy Museum 🎃👻... wait, no I'm not! 😴 I mean, how can an exhibit on horror possibly be enjoyable for everyone? Like, what if you're easily scared or just don't enjoy being freaked out all day? 💀 The idea of walking through a haunted house exhibit sounds super cheesy to me... but at the same time, I've heard some amazing stories about horror movies that have changed my life 🎥. And I guess it's cool that they'll be showcasing some iconic films and behind-the-scenes stuff 🤔. But September 2026 feels like forever away... ugh! 😩
 
just saw this news 🤯 and I'm low-key excited for the new horror exhibit at the Academy Museum! I've always been fascinated by how horror movies can tap into our deepest fears and anxieties, and it sounds like this exhibit is gonna dive super deep into that. The fact that they're creating an immersive experience with 6 different hubs, each modeled after a sub-genre, is already making me want to plan a visit ASAP 🕷️. I'm curious if the exhibit will also touch on how horror has influenced other art forms like music and fashion... 🎭👗
 
Wow! 🎃️ I'm so down for this! An immersive horror exhibition at the Academy Museum is like a dream come true for fans of the genre. Can you imagine walking through a recreation of your favorite horror movie's world? That sounds straight out of a horror fan's wildest dreams... and it's not until next year, though, so I'm gonna have to plan my trip or just live vicariously through others' reviews on social media 😱
