Glasgow Horror Fest is a Scottish horror festival founded by Popcorn Horror (popcornhorror.com). Since launching in 2015, the festival has grown to include dates outside the main Halloween event; including events celebrating , Women in Horror Month, and a 'bite size' edition of the main festival.
Glasgow Horror Fest brings together the best independent horror the industry has to offer. Previous feature films screened at the festival include award-winning folk horror 'DOGGED', Scottish ground-breaker 'THE UNKINDNESS OF RAVENS', brutal true crime inspired film 'CRUEL SUMMER' and eerie documentary 'BELLA IN THE WYTCH ELM'. The festival also hosts short film programs showcasing innovative and terrifying short scares.
Glasgow Horror Fest is divided into multiple events throughout the year. To simplify submission for 2020, we have only two categories - horror shorts and horror features. Judges will decide on the event most suited for each film, and will notify submitters ahead of the screening. The status will change for all films, and notify those not accepted after the final film event of 2020.
