The Chicago Horror Film Festival was founded by Jason R. Davis and first premiered on June 1st of 2003 with a line up of 22 short films that played over one night at the historic 3 Penny Cinema from 5 p.m. – 11 p.m.  A huge draw for the first season was that Bloody Mary’s were served at discount!

NOTE: We are currently looking for photos / history help with this event.  If you had a film screen with us or any promotional materials, please CONTACT US.  A large portion of our festival history was lost several years ago and we would love to rebuild our history with more detail.  Thanks!
