TERROR IN THE BAY FILM FESTIVAL

Northwestern Ontario’s Top Horror Film Festival Is Back…

We are pleased to announce the 4th Annual “Terror In The Bay” Film Festival! From October 15th-18th, 2020 we will be showcasing a wide range of films and trailers from around the world – HORROR, THRILLER AND MYSTERY FILMS ARE WHAT WE LOVE!

Our festival is built by filmmakers for filmmakers, and we know the hard work and dedication it takes to make a film of any genre and length. Film festival submission fees can add up very quickly, so we kept our entry fees low.

This 4-day event will take place at the historic Paramount Theatre, which has recently changed it’s name to MapleTops Paramount Theatre, located in the downtown core of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. LAST YEAR WE SCREENED 50 FILMS IN 4 DAYS!

The downtown core and entertainment industry in Thunder Bay has been growing steadily over the past several years, and MapleTops Paramount Theatre is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It has been newly renovated inside, has a full concession stand and hosts several local plays and musicals.
