We are deeply saddened to announce that the 18th Annual Toronto After Dark Film Festival, originally scheduled for October 2024, has been postponed until October 15-19, 2025. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control have led to this decision.

We look forward to seeing you After Dark again next year, once again at the Scotiabank Theatre in the heart of Toronto's downtown when we return with Five Nights of Awesome New Horror, Thriller and Sci-Fi Movies !

For more information on the postponement, please refer to the full statement from Festival Director & Founder Adam Lopez.
