The 17th Annual Atlanta Horror Film Festival  (Atlanta Horrorfest) will be held October 13 - 15, 2023. Join us for non-stop screenings of the best horror films of the year at Limelight Theater and celebrate the Friday the 13th weekend with us!

​
Atlanta Horrorfest is the top horror film festival in Atlanta. We are dedicated to showcasing films from the world's most talented filmmakers. Our program is packed with award-winning films from every corner of the earth.

We are so proud to have showcased thousands of incredible independent horror features and shorts since 2006. In our 17 seasons, we have consistently programmed films that stick with you long after the festival is over, and films you won't see anywhere else.

Atlanta Horrorfest is a must for established and up-and-coming filmmakers who have created short and feature films the audience can not forget - even if they try!

Our selection committee programs every kind of film in the horror genre: from sci-fi to gore, and everything in between.
