Wednesday & Thursday, June 1-2 at 6:30pm | Individual Day Passes $20
THE PORTLAND HORROR FILM FESTIVAL is committed to bringing the best independent short and feature length horror films to the best movie-watching audience in the world! PHFF was created by Brian and Gwen Callahan (also the Directors of the H.P. LOVECRAFT FILM FESTIVAL).
It’s no secret that some of the best horror films being made are low-budget, independent films, but they can be hard to find and once they’re out of the festival circuit, some can’t be seen anywhere else. For two nights only, we’re bringing them to you on the big screen. You’ll see films made by everyone from (young) students to seasoned professionals, running the gamut from hauntings to demons to serial killers to zombies.

PHFF was created by Brian and Gwen Callahan, (also the Directors of the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival). Each year, hundreds of fantastic films get submitted, but not all of them fit the Lovecraftian or Weird Tale paradigm. We decided it was time for a more general Horror Film festival to showcase the incredible things filmmakers are doing despite having small budgets. Some of the best horror filmmaking today is being done outside of the big studios, and we’re here to celebrate that!
