Welcome to the festival’s darkest, weirdest, most gloriously freakish side
MAD FREAK LOUNGE is a realm of nonstop programming where chaos reigns supreme.
A twisted celebration of dark fun, bizarre humor, glorious excess, and the unexpected, it offers a chillingly relaxed and highly participatory experience.
Conceived as a sinister chill-out zone, it invites you to step away from reality and:
Watch short films, impossible trailers, audiovisual oddities, and cult gems that revel in boundless creativity and a love for the strange, the weird, and the unclassifiable.
Join wicked debates and delightfully unhinged discussions.
Attend masterclasses led by curious minds from the darker corners of genre culture.
A living, highly participatory haunt where you can wander in and out whenever you like... though once it gets its claws into you, leaving may not be so easy. Around every corner awaits something brief, bewildering, and strange enough to make you question your own senses.
