Haunted Carnival is a space for fantastic, horror, and uncanny cinema. We welcome productions from different genres that explore fear, the supernatural, the dark, the mysterious, and the unsettling in all their forms, from psychological horror to experimental works.
At Haunted Carnival, we seek to bring together filmmakers, the public, and members of the film industry in one space. More than a film festival, we are a gathering that fosters creation, reflection, and the sharing of stories that go beyond the everyday and dare to face the unknown.
The selected works will be presented at our in-person event on october 30, 2026, at the Rafael Pombo Corporation, with a program that includes screenings, talks with special guests, immersive experiences, and an awards presentation for the participating projects.
Haunted Carnival will recognize and award films, music videos, and photography projects that explore horror-related themes. Honorary mentions and special recognitions will be given for outstanding achievements in directing and screenwriting, highlighting the creative vision behind each work.
