Portland Horror Film Festival is the first dedicated all Horror genre film festival in Portland, Oregon. Festival directors Gwen and Brian Callahan are also the directors of the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival, (originally founded by Andrew Migliore, the HPLFF has been a Portland institution for over 20 years), and also organized Zompire: The Undead Film Festival from 2012-2014. After noting an increase in high quality film submissions that didn’t quite fit the narrow Lovecraftian or Weird Tale format, they created PHFF out of a desire to showcase independent horror films from all sub-genres.

With annual screenings featuring regional and world premieres, visiting Filmmaker Q&A sessions, and the best audience in the world, Portland Horror Film Festival is a vibrant outpost of independent horror in the Pacific Northwest.
