What is on at HorrorCon India 2026
The event mixes pop culture with Halloween fun. There is a Halloween parade, a horror cosplay contest and a family cosplay showdown.

Tickets, timings and entry rules
Here the picture is patchy. Curly Tales does not give timings, ticket prices or age rules for the main event. It says tickets are sold through SkillBoxes.
A separate listing on District, titled HallowVille by HorrorCon, describes a kids Halloween party at the NSIC Estate. It shows a 2 pm start, with doors opening at 1:45 pm. Tickets start at Rs 943. Children aged 2 and above need a ticket, pets are welcome, and visitors must carry an ID such as Aadhaar, PAN, a driving licence or a passport.
However, the two listings may cover different passes. So read the ticket description carefully before you pay, and confirm the entry time for the day you pick.
Tips if you are going to HorrorCon India 2026
Large events in Delhi can be slow to enter. For example, a government ID check at the gate adds time, so carry the original. Also, plan your ride in advance, since a crowd of 30,000 can strain cabs and parking near Okhla.
If you are going with children, check the kids listing and the schedule link on it. Costumes are part of the fun, but comfortable shoes matter more on a full day out.
Finally, treat this as a pop culture day out rather than a scare fest. The programme leans towards cosplay, music and games, with horror as the theme.
