Popcorn Frights Film Festival has revealed the third wave of programming for its 2026 edition, adding more titles to the Florida genre event as August nears. The announcement continues the rollout for the festival's 12th year and signals that the lineup is still growing.
Among the newly highlighted titles is MONSTROUS ME, which is part of the latest programming wave. The update also points to a sizable short-film presence, with 72 shorts included in the mix, reinforcing the festival's emphasis on horror storytelling in shorter formats as well as feature selections.
Based on the festival's latest release, the third wave is meant to build on what has already been described as a large lineup for 2026. That suggests Popcorn Frights is continuing to position this year's edition as a major showcase for horror fans looking for premieres, fresh discoveries, and a broad range of genre work.
With another batch of programming now public, attention will turn to how the full schedule comes together in Florida. For now, the newest announcement gives MONSTROUS ME added visibility and underscores how central short films remain to the Popcorn Frights identity.
