South African Horrorfest Film Festival

The South African Horrorfest hits the half decade mark!

Since its humble beginnings by a dedicated group of individuals adamant to create a festival of Horror on South African soil (and not deterred by the rare sponsorship backing options), the S.A. HORRORFEST has grown systematically and from strength-to-strength.

The Horrorfest has not only generated a platform for indie movie-makers to get their work on the big screen (and in front of a targeted audience).

It has also inspiring a wide range of South African movie-makers to create more daring, experimental and exciting work.

Expect another week over Halloween season filled with rare, classic and indie movies and short films on the big screen, special preview screenings of new big screen releases, Halloween dress-up, a live soundtrack performed to the screening of a silent horror/chiller by Terminatryx and special guests (incl. members from LARK), a range of peripheral activity, and of course cool prizes & give-aways (including a sizable production prize for the best locally produced short flick).

Since its genesis, the Horrorfest has screened a range of chilling movies from around the globe, including the USA, UK, Germany, Australia, Finland, Spain, Canada and Italy, with everything from vampires and zombies, to ghosts, aliens and madmen. The HorrorFest will continue its tradition of giving cinefans the opportunity to see movies on the big screen, with many rare ones which may not even reach South African video stores, now or in the future.

Updates on the festival will go out regularly, times are to be announced.

Spread the word like a zombie plague!

The ticket prices are R25 for regular shows and R45 for a special live movie soundtrack performance to a classic silent horror movie (this year it's the 1925 Maciste In Hell).
