Overview
The Cyprus Horror Society film festival in Limassol is billed as the first horror film festival in Cyprus and the country’s first event dedicated entirely to the genre. It showcases independently made horror features and short films from Cyprus and around the world, and has been noted for building a local horror community while giving international genre filmmakers an IMDB-verified platform in the island’s festival scene.[2][4][9]
