One Hell Of A Time

Hellifax Horror Fest is dedicated to horror genre fanatics
in Halifax and the Atlantic region.


We bring the best in genre cinema: the macabre, the deranged, the fantastical, the weird, the terrifying, the outrageous, and the eerie. Entering our fifth year, Hellifax Horror Fest offers audiences and filmmakers alike the opportunity to connect and share their passion for all-things horror!

"...the HHFF Team were amazing, great communication with the festival, they had a killer line up for this 2024 edition and a kick a** name!"
