One of my favourites from last years @abertoirfest.bsky.social

Really excited about this - I have a soft spot for Ray Harryhausen (who doesn't) and Prof. Abbot is fantastic! Plus the night before I'll be seeing the incredible Garth Marenghi in Cardiff...it's like a re-run of all the best bits of last year's Abertoir!!!!

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve joined forces with another of Wales’ great film festivals, Cardiff Animation Festival! abertoir.co.uk/news/caf-202...

I love this film which is a fantastic short I was introduced to via @abertoirfest.bsky.social

Nia’s taking a closer look at Her Will Be Done over on our Letterboxd page – we’re presenting the film in Bangor and Aberystwyth as part of WOW Film Festival’s 25th edition. boxd.it/2nO7

Abertoir presents: Her Will Be Done Powerful performances and a stark style bring this tale of feminine rage searingly to life. Screening at Pontio, Bangor on March 21st and Aberystwyth Arts Centre on March 26th. Part of WOW Film Festival 2026. youtu.be/qT1Dmfkfv1A?...

We’ve joined forces once more with our good friends WOW Film Festival to bring a spooky bit of world cinema to the big screen as part of their festival programme. Experience Julia Kowalski’s searing Her Will Be Done in Bangor (March 21) and Aberystwyth (March 26). abertoir.co.uk/news/wow-202...

Team Abertoir’s been taking a breather after our massive 20th edition and we’ve made a decision: we’re taking it down a notch for 2026. There won’t be a big 5-day festival in 2026, but we’re certainly not going to be dormant – far from it! Read the full details: abertoir.co.uk/news/abertoi...

Caught this at @abertoirfest.bsky.social last week. It's a stunning restoration of a wonderful gothic yarn and a must for fans of Barbara Steele.

My three favourite new releases at the recent Abertoir Horror Festival in Aberystwyth...

One of the highlights of the festival this year. Really enjoyed it Simon was excellent, his band phenomenal and it was so much fun.

Old Dark House was so very very good , loved the humour. I need to get a copy as has crept into my top 5 favourite films! Thanks Abertoir Film Festival! @abertoirfest.bsky.social youtu.be/06RuAO980U4 #ClassicFilm #FilmCymru #DarkHumour #JamesWhale #GothicHorror #Potato 💀📽️ 🥔 #hahahaShrewsbury!

Georgina had a fantastic time at the 20th @abertoirfest.bsky.social, seeing Simon Boswell in concert, South Korean thriller Noise, and short films from around the world. A huge thanks and well done to the whole team!

We wrapped the 20th Abertoir late on Sunday and can’t thank you enough for joining us – 5 days of horror, old and new, and all the delights in between! As the dust settles & we return to our crypts to sleep, we want to reiterate our thanks to you all for joining us again, both old friends and new.

@abertoirfest.bsky.social Totally amazing festival!!! What a SCREAM!! See you next year!! @chrishathway.co.uk

Thank you to @abertoirfest.bsky.social for a wonderful 5 days of films and talks and coffee. So much dang coffee. We had a blast!

Watched Mārama last night at @abertoirfest.bsky.social Suitably impressive. A powerful anti-colonial tale of cultural appropriation, torn families, abuse beneath the veneer of civilisation, and righteous, roaring revenge. Highly recommended. youtu.be/0E6hLpW70yg

I’ve been looking forward to this one all festival 💎 @abertoirfest.bsky.social

This show absolutely ruled. One song was so good they just played it twice lol

This was phenomenal.

Just dropping in to tell you how good Simon Boswell was @abertoirfest.bsky.social tonight…He played a selection of music from films he has worked on including many of my favourite films. 90 mins wasn’t enough though!

We're half way through Abertoir 2025 - Simon Boswell and band are on stage! We've enjoyed films, talks, Q&As and much more - & there are 2 more days to go: premieres, a mystery screening that you'll go ape for, Bad Film Club, Victoria Price & Peter Fuller, more incredible films...let's keep going!

I'm not a veteran of many film festivals, but I wholeheartedly recommend @abertoirfest.bsky.social if you can make it over one November. Wonderful people and a superb line-up of films and guests, all in a stunning coastal location. Right, I'm off to crawl the chazzas before Theatre of Blood.
