Join us October 7 - 10, 2027
Georgia's biggest horror film festival returns for four days of frightening films, wild nights, and unforgettable fun as we celebrate 21 years of Atlanta HorrorFest!
Join us October 7-10, 2027, at 7 Stages Theatre in Atlanta's Little 5 Points for a weekend packed with independent horror films, filmmaker Q&As, special events, parties, and our Saturday Horror Crawl through the neighborhood.
From psychological thrillers and supernatural nightmares to slashers, monsters, outrageous horror comedies, and plenty of blood and gore, there's something for every kind of horror fan.
But HorrorFest is more than watching movies. It's meeting the filmmakers, hanging out with fellow horror fans, exploring Little 5 Points, and celebrating everything we love about horror.
Four days of films, parties, and good times. 21 years of Atlanta HorrorFest.
