Northern Frights

Scotland's Home Of Horror

Welcome...

Welcome to Northern Frights, where horror isn’t just an event – it’s our entire existence. We’re the demons behind Horror Con Scotland, but we’re much more than that. From our shop of horrors packed with killer merch, to our portable coffin escape rooms, blog of dark delights, and creature hire for events and mischief, we live and breathe everything spooky, twisted, and blood-curdling.

Our horde of ghouls and unholy minds create things that horror fans don’t just watch – they experience, wear, and take home. Whether you’re looking for something terrifying to play, read, attend, or own, Northern Frights is where you’ll find it.

Horror Con 2026

Scotland’s biggest and scariest horror convention returns to the SEC. Packed with panels, immersive scare zones, killer props and live demos.

Why Northern Frights?

Because horror is who we are – not just what we do. We work with Scotland’s best creators, SFX artists, filmmakers, and performers to produce the kind of content, events, and products that horror fans crave.

Northern Frights isn’t run by soulless corporations – it’s built by one mortal and a horde of demons who love horror, chaos, and a good scare. We’re Scotland’s hub for everything spooky, and our claws are just getting sharper.
