This year's event was absolutely amazing so thank you again for all for the support, we can't do it without you! We'll be fairly quiet now until next year but will be vigilantly beavering away in the background, so keep them suggestions coming!

Looking forward to October 2026!

Submissions for features and shorts will be open from today via @FilmFreeway at the links at the submissions and bottom of every page of our website.

Tickets should be on sale Easter as tradition dictates with full line-up announcement around late August/early September.

The 'suggest a classic' movie page is open for suggestions at rebrand.ly/g44p5ri. Some have asked that we screen some of the classics from our first editions from 2016, so if they're what you want to see, then let us know!

Doors will open at 5pm on Thursday 22nd for an evening session and a little earlier on Friday at around 10am to cram even more horrror! That means next years edition will feature 22 movies - 11 new movies, 11 classics and at least 22 new shorts! How far we've come...

Next year we hit a big 10 years - so makes sense to grow just a little bit, right? See you all next year!

...over the last decade. We're selling out, filling hotels, screening bigger movies, hosting UK premieres, welcoming international guests and building a reputation in the crowded world of horror film festivals. And that's all happening right here, in little old, Sudbury Suffolk!

...brilliant horror hungry attendees who came this year and keep coming back every year!

Thank you so much, we had a blast and appreciate every single contribution that moves us forward each year. We're in awe of the crazy monster that our little, local gig has become...

...to talk about their movies, volunteers who helped behind the scenes, everybody at the Quay Theatre, Sudbury, Suffolk, supporters like 101 Films , Second Sight Films, Treasured Films, The Dark Side Magazine and Blazing Minds and of course, every single one of you lovely...
