Horror Channel FrightFest

Twickenham, United Kingdom




FrightFest staged its first edition in 2000 at the Prince Charles Cinema, off London’s Leicester Square.

The objective of FrightFest, when founded, was to provide the UK with a fantasy and horror film festival of similar stature to the market leaders in Europe and the US. FrightFest has since evolved into a community where audiences and guests alike travel from all over the world to be part of the event’s unique atmosphere.

Away from our London August event, which in 2018 runs from the 23rd to the 27th August, the festival also stages a Halloween extravaganza on the last Saturday of October and hosts a regular two-day terror-thon in Scotland as part of the Glasgow Film Festival. Dates for this in 2018 are the 2nd and 3rd March.

We are currently accepting submissions for our annual five-day August in London. The deadline for features for August is 1st June and 29th June for shorts.
