“Fright or Flight”

At Appalachian HorrorFest 2025, fear takes a new form, and this time, it’s one you can fight back against. “Fright or Flight,” a dynamic self-defense seminar led by twin instructors Jacob and Zac Garner, invites attendees to reclaim their power in a world where the real terror isn’t the supernatural, but the uncertainty of personal safety. With a blend of practical techniques and empowering mindset training, Jacob and Zac bring more than just martial arts to the table; they offer a chance to transform fear into readiness. Whether you’re stepping into self-defense for the first time or refining your skills, this seminar meets you where you are, with tools you can use immediately. And the best part? It’s completely free for all festival-goers. Join the Garner twins on Saturday, October 11, at 11:00 AM at the Holiday Inn – Cedar Bluff for a session that’s as vital as it is invigorating. In the spirit of Appalachian HorrorFest, where legends come alive and courage is tested, “Fright or Flight” reminds us that the most powerful story we can tell is one where we stand strong. Your safety is your power, own it together.
