A Night of Horror International Film Festival is a genre specific film festival that is based in Sydney, Australia. There seems to be some consensus that the event is Australia's premiere, and possibly only, horror film festival. In his monthly column in ''Encore Magazine'', columnist Harvey Shore referred to the festival as "Australia's first horror film festival () recognises the past and gives the horror genre a platform for the future."〔''Encore Magazine'', September 2007, p. 46〕 Similarly, ''Horrorscope'', an Australian horror news website, calls the festival "Sydney's first true horror film festival" () And in an article in Sydney's ''Drum Media'' magazine, journalist Liz Guiffre refers to the horror festival as "a one of a kind in our parts".〔(Media'', 1 April, no. 899, pg. 71 )〕 ==Festival History== The festival was founded in 2006, by Dr. Dean Bertram, Lisa Mitchell, and Grant Bertram.〔(Magazine'', June 2008, pg. 46 )〕 It was originally a short film festival, but has since expanded to include feature films and horror themed music videos. Indeed, now that the festival runs for a longer duration, the festival’s name, “A Night of Horror”, is actually something of a misnomer (the 2008 festival actually ran for ten days and nights). The principal screening venue for the 2008 festival was the Dendy Newtown Cinema. Additional special events included a horror filmmaking forum, a zombie walk, and a number of horror-themed parties.〔 In addition to the principal annual event in Sydney, a “best of” program of films from the festival tours within Australia and internationally. Some of these screenings take place at other festivals under the “A Night of Horror” banner, and have included programs at: It Came From Lake Michigan Film Festival (), Weekend de la Peur (), and Revelation Perth International Film Festival () In 2007, A Night of Horror International Film Festival also programmed a special selection of Canadian produced horror films for Possible Worlds: Sydney’s Canadian Film Festival (which took place at the Chauvel Cinema, Paddington).
