This Halloween, the darkness belongs to the big screen.
Mumbai, prepare for two nights of screams, shadows, and stories that refuse to let you sleep.
Dark Scream Film Festival returns on 24 & 25 October 2026, transforming Veda Black Box, Versova, into a home for the strange, terrifying, and beautifully twisted side of cinema.
From horror and psychological thrillers to sci-fi, dark fantasy, zombies, crime, noir, queer horror, and experimental nightmares, experience a carefully curated selection of independent genre films from filmmakers across India and around the world.
Some will scare you. Some will disturb you. And a few may follow you home.
WHO SHOULD ENTER?
Horror addicts. Thriller lovers. Indie-film explorers. Filmmakers. Cinephiles. Halloween creatures. And anyone who thinks a dark room full of strangers watching terrifying movies sounds like the perfect weekend.
