ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The Horror Fest Film Festival unleashes a wicked lineup of global terror: blood-soaked slashers, mind-bending psychological thrillers, supernatural nightmares, and everything lurking in the dark between. This isn’t just a screening, it’s a full weekend of screams, shocks, and dangerously good late-night cinema.HFFF is a fully in-person experience, taking over the iconic Theater N Cinema in the heart of Wilmington, Delaware; a venue celebrated for championing bold, independent film. Beyond the screen, the festival comes alive with filmmaker panels, networking events, and high-energy social parties designed to connect creators, fans, and industry insiders.Got something twisted to share? We want it. Whether your film is eerie, extreme, or completely unhinged, HFFF is the place to showcase your work and find your audience. Submit your film and be part of the madness.Easily accessible from the Tri-State and Philadelphia region, HFFF is organized in association with Theater N, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alongside seasoned industry pros and passionate filmmakers.Come for the horror. Stay for the community. Leave with new collaborators and maybe a few nightmares!
