The Black Sunday Film Festival returns this Halloween season to terrify fans with a plenty of horror delights. Taking place from October 25th to 27th at the Whirled Cinema, London, it promises to be one of the film events you don’t want to miss in 2019.

Founded by indie filmmaker and STARBURST Fantasy Award Winner Scott Lyus (Echoes of the Passed), the Black Sunday Film Festival is a three-day event this year, following their 5 single-day events in 2018. As Scott explains, “Last year we tested the water, got a taste of what works and what doesn’t work, and this year we return putting all that blood, sweat and tears into the best event possible. We finished our 2018 run with two amazing events at the Whirled Cinema and given everyone’s reaction to the venue, we knew we had found our home. So this year, we’re taking over the place for three days this October, brining you the best indie horror, sci-fi and genre goodness from around the world.” Now co-run by Scott and Chris Nials of the London Horror Society, 2019 is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever before.

Sponsored by STARBURST Magazine and Arrow Video, and presented by the London Horror Society, submissions are now open via FilmFreeway, so filmmakers, be sure to get those films in and take advantage of their Early Bird discount which runs until March 31st.

Black Sunday promises to be the perfect weekend to indulge in some truly awesome genre cinema, with the most diehard genre community in the world.
