You are invited to the 16th Annual Atlanta Horror Film Festival!

Join us for live screenings of the top horror films from October 14 - 16, 2022 at RoleCall Theater, two nights of outdoor screenings, and online screenings from October 14 - 23, 2022. There's something for everyone at the next festival! Over 150 films will be presented. Enter your film today and join us for the celebration!

AHFF 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.

In our 16 seasons, we have consistently programmed films that stick with you long after the festival is over, and films you won't see anywhere else. AHFF is a must for established and up-and-coming filmmakers who have created short and feature films that audiences will not and can not forget.

Our selection committee programs every type of film in the horror genre: from sci-fi to gore, and everything in between. 2022 will be a celebration of 16 great years, and a huge party is already being planned!

I was very honored to premier my film at this festival. I felt like they had amazing communication with me and made sure that I was in the loop. I wasn't able to attend but from what I heard from a filmmaker friend of mine who did go they had an amazing experience. Highly recomend.
