Atlanta Horror Film Festival



The Atlanta Horror Film Festival showcases the very best independent films from across the world as we celebrate the art of horror from August 13 - 15, 2010.

Since 2006, the festival has been a favorite of filmmakers and fans from Atlanta and beyond.

Our focus is to celebrate independent cinema, and we strive to feature as many great films as we can during this great weekend of horror.

We will consider the very best horror, sci-fi, gore, mysteries, dark comedies, experimentals, creepy, campy films of almost every genre you can imagine!

Although we love traditional horror, we are not attempting to create the typical showcase of blood and guts. We are looking for cutting-edge films that represent the new genre of horror - films that audiences can’t and won’t forget.

We encourage all talented filmmakers to enter their short and feature-length films today!The next Atlanta Horror Film Festival will be held August 13 - 15, 2010 as part of Independent Film Month - Atlanta, a month-long celebration of independent film, August 2010!
