A Feast on Fear Begins: The Buried Alive 2025 Festival Bumper

The countdown to Buried Alive Film Festival 2025 has begun, and with it comes our brand-new festival bumper, an unholy appetizer for the horrors to come.

This year, Buried Alive invites you to the table for A Feast on Fear, a grotesque banquet where every film is a course of terror. From spine-tingling thrills to blood-soaked nightmares, we serve horror in its richest, most decadent form. Come hungry… leave screaming for more.

Our bumper is more than just a teaser, it’s a celebration of the horror family that makes Buried Alive thrive. Every frame drips with practical effects, monstrous creations, and the twisted imagination that Atlanta’s horror scene is known for.
