creepfest

Spooky event overload

A creepfest is an event, place, or situation saturated with creepy elements—whether genuinely unsettling or deliberately cultivated for effect.

A horror movie marathon might be a creepfest, as might a party where everyone seems off-putting: That bar was a total creepfest—guys kept staring.

The word emphasizes accumulation: not one creepy thing, but many.
