Haunted House FearFest is about grassroots independent filmmaking. Celebrating the crack of bone and spill of blood. We aim to bring independent filmmaking to the City of Bradford and scare the crap out of them. But for this, we need to invite filmmakers with a twisted mind and a mean streak to join us.
We want to share our love of horror and all of its sub-genres, like Giallo, Über violence, Monsters, Psychos and Supernatural. From nerve-shredding drama to blunt force trauma. Any film, including music videos, experimental and documentaries, as long as it features terror and blood – We want it!
The Live festival will be held at THE IDLE DRAPER (Commonly known as the Bone Idle) on 18th & 19th March. Our virtual theatre will be held on XERB.TV from 18th – 27th March 2022.
