“The Woodstock of Gore” - Guillermo Del Toro

The objective of FrightFest, now in its 25th year, is to provide the UK with a fantasy and horror festival of similar stature to the market leaders in Europe, such as Sitges (Spain) and Brussels (Belgium) and in North America with Fantasia (Canada) and Fantastic Fest (USA). FrightFest has evolved into a community where audiences and guests alike travel from all over the world to be part of the event’s unique atmosphere.

FRIGHTFEST IS A VISIBLE AND ATTRACTIVE BRAND – Through our dedicated and intensive PR and marketing campaigns, FrightFest attracts an audience of 15,000 fans each year to its London event and many tens of thousands more through the festival's 35k+ Twitter followers, which is doubled when the four directors' followers are added. The festival also hosts lively and active Facebook and Instagram pages. National and international press coverage are also achieved in all media areas through the festival's PR machine run by Clout Communications.
