For more than 20 years, Fright Night Film Fest has been dedicated to one mission: putting independent filmmakers and their films in front of the fans who love them.

From the beginning, the festival has remained committed to showcasing the best, boldest, and most original voices in independent cinema—giving filmmakers an opportunity to have their work seen, celebrated, and discovered.

Its selections span the entire spectrum of genre filmmaking—from slashers, thrillers, and supernatural horror to sci-fi, cult cinema, dark comedy, and the wonderfully unexpected. Every year, it searches for films that entertain, challenge, surprise, and leave audiences wanting more.

Fright Night Film Fest is more than a film festival. It is a celebration of the filmmakers, actors, writers, artists, and fans who keep independent genre cinema alive.

In 2026, it continues the tradition by bringing together incredible independent films, passionate filmmakers, and devoted genre fans for another unforgettable year.
