2024 Lineup
As in previous years, the 2024 Knoxville Horror Film Fest is scheduled as a single-track film festival in which there are no repeating or conflicting events; our core group of 75 festival passholders will enjoy the same five nights and three days of horror fun, joined Thursday and Friday night at the Parkway Drive-In by a broader audience of regional scare enthusiasts. Our full festival passes are sold out, but there's plenty of space left at the drive-in... vist FilmFreeway to grab single- or two-night passes, or come ready to pay at the gate! ($25/person)

Tennessee Terrors Regional Shorts
The Dog from a Graveyard
This year's festival kicks off with a spotlight on area filmmakers via our Tennessee Terrors competitive regional short film program, presented for the first time as a semi-standalone primetime event to ensure that filmmakers, friends & family get a chance to see local talents shine on the big screen! This year’s shorts lineup includes The Fool, The TV Game, The Runner, Peeping Patty, What Dwells Beneath, Michael's Not Real, Catacombs, It's Better This Way and Piglet Rising, followed by a screening of Johnson City-based feature anthology production The Dog From a Graveyard.
Admission to our Tennessee Terrors program is included as part of our KHFF Festival Pass; we plan to have a limited number of $15 general admission tickets available at the door prior to the screening.

Short Film Block + Grindhouse Grind-out
The Thaw + THE THING
KHFF 2024 kicks into high gear as we return for our fifth year at Maryville’s Parkway Drive-In! Thursday’s programming begins with short films Roger is a Serial Killer, We Joined a Cult, Bloody Mary, Stinky Girls and Yummo Spot alongside the 2024 KHFF Grindhouse Grind-out Filmmaking Contest, pitting eleven teams of local creatives against one another to see who can create the wildest fake movie trailer. And once the dust settles on the Grind-out showdown, we're thrilled to be topping off the evening with one of the greatest horror films of all time: John Carpenter's stir-crazy 1982 special effects feast
