Thrillers
Where every plot twist resonates physically
Where conventional genres end and true cinema begins
3 July 2027 | 99 Cobbold UNIT C, London
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.
Where every plot twist resonates physically
Where laughter becomes defense against reality’s horrors
Where darkness speaks a language that needs no translation
Your place is here.
Beyond the screams, the MASTERS OF HORROR festival is a sanctuary for the macabre. Here's what awaits you:
Forge lasting connections with the masterminds behind the madness. Our exclusive "In the Den" receptions and themed parties are the perfect ground to meet your next collaborator in crime.
How are the anxieties of the modern world - isolation, technology, global chaos - reshaping horror? Join our panel of veteran creators and new pioneers for a deep dive into the evolving grammar of terror.
We appreciate horror that doesn't take itself too seriously. Be prepared for a festival experience seasoned with a deliciously dark and wicked sense of humor - because sometimes, the most terrifying thing to do is laugh in the face of fear.
