Since its founding in 2016, the Circle M Horror Film Festival has showcased a spine-chilling total of 92 films, building a decade-long tradition of screams, scares, and cinematic thrills

2025 — The 10th Annual Circle M Horror Film Festival

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Circle M Horror Film Festival. To celebrate a full decade of screams, we’re doing something special:
every new horror release (2024–present) is paired with a classic from one of our previous years. It’s a double dose of terror and nostalgia — old blood meets new blood.

The Rules of Circle M HFF

Every festival is a little chaotic, but the Circle M faithful know there are a few loose rules that make it feel like our fest:

1. Watch at least 6 films
   If you didn’t sweat through a half-dozen stories of terror, did you really fest?

2. Catch one matinee
   At least one screening must begin before sunset. Walking out of the theater into daylight with the movie still crawling under your skin gives an extra eerie vibe.

3. Survive a double feature
   A true test of endurance — two films back-to-back, no excuses.
