Abertoir is the national horror festival of Wales. Based in the seaside town of Aberystwyth, the festival is a five day event that showcases a wide variety of horror-related events. The five days comprise of studio and independent feature films, classics, cult films and even a silent film with live accompaniment. There is a short films competition with a £1000 prize, with entries submitted from around the world. In addition to films, Abertoir features masterclasses, talks, live theatre and music, making the festival a varied and enjoyable event that brings together all aspects of horror.
