Steeped in the fog of Canada's most easterly point, on an island surrounded by the roaring Atlantic Ocean and enveloped by the darkness of dense, sprawling woods, FOGFEST was born; an independent horror film festival in one of the oldest and spookiest cities in North America—St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

​

Founded in 2021 by GRIND MIND, this year's festival expands upon our inaugural year with a two-day event at the historic LSPU Hall in the heart of the city's downtown. FOGFEST II aims to showcase the next wave of genre creators from the island and around the world. Packed with screenings & events (Drag shows! VHS swap!) we're bringing an experience for horror filmmakers and fans to connect and celebrate the culture and creatures that make us who we are.
