Description
What was started in 1993 by Dead by Dawn festival director Adele Hartley as a response to a dare has developed into a regular slot in the Edinburgh film festival calendar. Hartley's unbridled enthusiasm for the horror genre is a large part of its success, while the era of cheap filmmaking has meant that there has been a plentiful supply of blood-spillers and chillers out there to keep the Dead by Dawn fest brimming over each year.
The four-day mini film festival features previews and indie discoveries, along with a selection of classic horror, and a variety of short film programmes.
Ticket Prices
A full Dead By Dawn festival pass costs £65 while the "Spawn of Dawn" from midnight on Saturday is £25.
