Here we go again...

We're back for our tenth year! 10 years of the Horrorthon, now that's a reason to celebrate! And this year we're growing yet again to embrace four days!

When Dead And SudBuried Ruled The Earth: Horrorthon X takes place from Thursday 22nd to Sunday 25th October 2026! We'll be opening the doors at 5pm on Thursday 22nd for an evening session and starting a little earlier on Friday at around 10am to cram even more horrror! That means next years edition will feature 22 movies - 11 new movies, 11 classics and at least 22 new shorts! How far we've come from our little single day of classics.

Submissions for features and shorts will be open from today via FilmFreeway at the links at the bottom of every page and our submissions page.

The 'suggest a classic' movie page has been cleared again and is now back open for more suggestions here. It has been suggested that we screen some of the classics from our first edition way back in 2016 so if they're what you want to see, then let us know. We'll crunch down the short list and start up the online battles during the Summer. If you want to see it back on the big screen, make sure you tell us and we'll do our best to make it happen.

Tickets should be on sale Good Friday as tradition dictates with the full line-up announcement around late August/early September.

New 10-year anniversary merchandise will be available in our online shop very shortly here so keep your eyes open and keep supporting your local horror film festival.

This year's event was absolutely amazing so thank you again for 0all for the support, we can't do it without you! We'll be fairly quiet now until next year but will be vigilantly beavering away in the background, so keep them suggestions coming!

Looking forward to October 2026!
