More Than 15 Years of Freaks, Frights, and Fantastic Filmmakers!
The 15th Edition of A Night of Horror International Film Festival takes place at Dendy Cinemas Newtown, Sydney, Australia, from September 28th until October 1st, 2023. Showcasing the latest and greatest genre films from Australia and the world: the event will deliver an amazing line-up that will transport audiences to strange and wonderful worlds and blood-curdling nightmares.
A Night of Horror International Film Festival has remained dedicated to independent genre film and filmmakers for sixteen years.
Our selection process is committed to uncovering new filmmakers by ensuring that no less than 90% of short films and 50% of feature films are selected from our open submission process, rather than from sales agents and distributors. In the past, staying true to this aim has seen the festival screen early works from filmmakers such as Mike Flanagan (Hush, The Haunting of Hill House), Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead, The Mist), and Adrián Garcia Bogliano (Late Phases, Black Circle), to name a few of the festival alumni.

Clinical vampirism, more commonly known as Renfield's syndrome, is an obsession with drinking blood. The earliest presentation of clinical vampirism in psychiatric literature was a psychoanalytic interpretation of two cases, contributed by Richard L. Vanden Bergh and John. F. Kelley. As the authors point out, over 50,000 people addicted to drinking blood have appeared in the psychiatric literature from 1892 to 2010.[vague] This was documented in the work of Austrian forensic psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing. Many medical publications concerning clinical vampirism can be found in the literature of forensic psychiatry, with the behavior being reported as an aspect of extraordinary violent crimes.
