Horror films have been thrilling audiences for almost a century.  The Salem Independent Horror Film Festival is looking for the new wave in terror.  The festival showcases the talents of independent filmmakers using the horror genre.
With a history shrouded in fear, due to the tragic witch trials of 1692, the city of Salem, Massachusetts now celebrates its past during the Halloween season.  What better backdrop for this festival of horror than Salem's Halloween celebration.  The ocean-side city of Salem is brought to life more than ever during the Halloween season with its "Haunted Happenings," which are its nightly activities and performances throughout the downtown area.

Formerly known as the Salem 'Amateur' Horror Film Festival, the event is now entering its fourth year and it has already found itself at home in this beautiful and haunting city.
