The Virtual Pass is just that, virtual. You will have access to our virtual library throughout the duration of the festival.  You will still need to claim your tickets to each event or movie. Some events have limited capacity. Badges do not guarantee entry. Individual tickets required. 

In-person viewings are limited and are on a first-come basis. Please visit "Attending Panic Fest" for details on how we are handling our in-person screenings.
