A Night of Horror International Film Festival is Australia's oldest genre film event. Now in its twelfth year, the festival remains dedicated to screening and promoting the work of independent filmmakers working in the horror genre from both Australia and abroad. What began as an idea for a one-night event (hence the festival’s name) now spans several days. Press: Fangoria: "A festival of frights gorging itself on a diet of sinister submissions from local and international filmmakers, it’s the only one of its kind in Australia... an institution." Encore magazine: "Australia's first horror film festival ... recognises the past and gives the horror genre a platform for the future." Showtime Movie News: "If your taste runs into the darker side of life then you don't want to miss A Night of Horror Film Festival". FilmInk magazine: "Fans of all things dark and nasty are in for a real treat." Oz HorrorScope: "Sydney's first real horror film fest ... a fantastic event." People magazine: "ghoulish gold for all tastes". Drum magazine: "Australia's leading horror movie event... renowned and successful."
