FRIGHT FEST 2026

In this campy remake of the 1958 classic, high school students Brian (Kevin Dillon), Meg (Shawnee Smith) and Paul (Donovan Leitch) discover a strange, gelatinous substance that melts the flesh of any living creatures in its path. The deadly substance gets into the town’s sewer system, where it begins growing uncontrollably, occasionally emerging to feast on unsuspecting townspeople.

Tickets: $10 General Admission / $5 Members & UNL Students
A festival pass, good for discounted admission, will be available at The Ross box office.
