Started in 2006 the festival was one of the largest annual events for horror film fans in the Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia area. It was the Mid-Atlantic region's premier dedicated genre film festival.[1] Beginning in 2012 the festival was hosted by the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in Silver Spring, MD.

At the time of the announcement of the 2020 dates, the festival's website posted the following:

"Spooky Movie will be taking 2021 off.

This was a very difficult decision.

After 15 festivals, getting together every October to discover the best in new horror cinema with many of you has become the highlight of the entire year. So many brilliant memories.

The previous fifteen editions of the festival included the local premiere screenings of TUCKER AND DALE VS. EVIL, ONE CUT OF THE DEAD, THE BABADOOK, ENDLESS, CHAINED, GET OUT THE DEAD, WILLOW CREEK, MANDY, RESOLUTION, BIG BAD WOLVES, THE BLOORHOUND, EXISTS, LEAP OF FAITH: WILLIAM FRIEDKIN ON THE EXORCIST, HAIL TO THE DEADITES, the World Premieres of BUTTERFLY KISSES and NINJAS VS. MONSTERS, and hundreds more.

We look forward to getting back together in the not too distant future - until then, stay safe and please stay in touch.

Thank you."

The festival did not return.
