So join us for another evening of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course -- over 2 solid hours of incredible short films.

Long live indie horror!

  • A great selection of films playing and there was a really warm and excited atmosphere you only seem to get at horror festivals. Lots of really crowd-pleasing films. Well run, and well worth being a part of.

    We were honoured to be awarded the very first Skully's Choice Award for our film 'Last Orders'. Massive thanks to everyone at The London Horror Society!
