What would spooky season be without a few scary movies? Luckily, the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival returns this October and gives us something to scream about.
Since 2016, the annual fright fest screens the best domestic and international picks the genre has to offer, and 2024 is no exception. From October 17th to 24th, fans of the macabre can venture to some of the best movie theaters in NYC, Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg and Prospect Park, for screenings and events.
Since these films “push the boundaries of horror,” you can consider the fest to be one of the scarier NYC Halloween events out there.
