Where suspense makes hearts race, black comedy hits its mark, and horror penetrates deep beneath the skin.

We invite creators of horror who understand that true fear isn't about jump scares. Creators of thrillers who know that tension is an art form. Creators of black comedies who can laugh at the darkest subjects.

Masters of Horror is a festival where each of these forms finds its place. Where they don't blend, but coexist - each following its own rules, yet sharing the same space.

We've created this festival for those who:

Build Tension

Drop by drop, knowing true suspense is born in silence

Use Black Comedy

As a weapon that makes us laugh through pain

Create Horror

That stays with viewers through long nights

Understand Darkness

That can take different forms, but always holds power

If you create:

Thrillers

Where every plot twist resonates physically

Black Comedies

Where laughter becomes defense against reality's horrors

Horror

Where darkness speaks a language that needs no translation

Your place is here.
