With shorter days and colder nights drawing in, spooky season is almost upon us. That can only mean one thing: the return of the Dead and Sudburied Film Festival, which celebrates its Tenth anniversary this year.
The festival line-up includes:
- 11 brand-new horror features
- 11 classic horror films
- 22 brand-new horror shorts
- Director Q&A sessions

Visitors can also enjoy a licensed bar, merchandise stalls, food trucks and much more across four jam-packed days of horror, from 22nd to 25th October 2026, at The Quay Theatre.
Aptly retitled When Dead and Sudburied Rules the Earth: Horrorthon X, the tenth anniversary edition promises to be the festival’s biggest yet.
Weekend passes, day passes and tickets for individual screenings are available via the Dead and Sudburied website where merchandise such as t-shirts and hoodies with the festival line up are also available.
