Brooklyn Horror Film Festival has announced its return to Nitehawk Cinema, running October 15 through October 22, 2026. Along with the date announcement, the festival has opened badge sales and film submissions, with earlybird pricing now available.
All three badge tiers are back for 2026, including the Possessed Package, Horror Buff, and Splatter Packages. Earlybird discounts on film badges will remain in effect through June 1, offering attendees an opportunity to secure access ahead of the festival’s fall return.
Film submissions are now open exclusively through Film Freeway, where Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is currently rated as a Top 100 Best Reviewed Festival worldwide. The submission process includes rolling discounts throughout the year and multiple programming categories. These include Head Trip for films that fall outside traditional horror classifications, the LGBT-focused Slayed section, a dedicated Black Horror section, and discounted submissions for New York City–based filmmakers.
With badge sales underway and submissions open, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival continues preparations for its 2026 edition at Nitehawk Cinema.
