The Edinburgh Horror Festival is back and it's TENTH year.
The Edinburgh Horror Festival is one of the first of its kind in the UK- most horror festivals focus on one style of performance be it film or theatre, or possible one area of horror such as ghosts.
Our goal is to present a varied programme of performances in multiple disciplines and genres- from theatre to comedy, from magic to walking tours, from presenting authors to mediums to ghost hunters to scientists.
A variable bill providing an opportunity for all those in the arts and sciences and beyond to present their work to an audience.
