Baguio Horror Festival began as a grassroots movement born from the passion of horror fans who wanted to bring something truly unforgettable to the misty highlands of Baguio City. What started as a small gathering of zombie enthusiasts has grown into one of the most celebrated horror events in the Philippines.
We are storytellers, artists, performers, and community builders united by our love of horror — in all its forms. From the supernatural to the cinematic, the theatrical to the comedic, we explore the full spectrum of what makes horror such a vital and transformative art form.
To build and celebrate Baguio's horror community through immersive events, creative expression, and cultural storytelling.
To make Baguio City the horror capital of the Philippines — a destination for horror enthusiasts, filmmakers, artists, and fans.
A decade of horror, community, and unforgettable memories.
Zombie Walk Baguio City was born. A small but passionate group of horror enthusiasts gathered in Burnham Park and took to the streets in full zombie makeup — the first of its kind in Baguio City.
The second Zombie Walk drew triple the participants. Word had spread and Baguio's horror community was truly coming alive. The event began attracting national media attention.
Zombie Walk Baguio City became a recognized Halloween tradition in the region. Corporate sponsors began supporting the event, and costume categories were formally introduced.
Official gallery archive launched, preserving the visual history of every Zombie Walk. The BHF community Facebook group crossed 10,000 members.
The largest Zombie Walk in BHF history to date, with over 1,000 registered participants. The event made national headlines and put Baguio on the Philippine horror map.
Despite challenges, BHF pivoted to digital horror events and online horror storytelling nights, keeping the community alive and engaged throughout the pandemic period.
Baguio Horror Festival announced plans for the first-ever Baguio Horror Film Festival, expanding BHF's reach into Philippine independent horror cinema.
Bigger, scarier, more immersive than ever. Baguio Horror Festival continues to grow, evolve, and build the Philippines' premier horror culture destination.
Baguio's perpetual fog and cold mountain climate creates a naturally eerie atmosphere — the perfect canvas for horror storytelling and supernatural exploration.
Baguio City is steeped in supernatural folklore and local ghost stories. From haunted buildings to mountain spirits, the horror is woven into the city's very identity.
Baguio's thriving arts community has always embraced dark and surreal creative expression. Horror culture fits naturally into the city's rich artistic heritage.
Nestled in the Cordillera mountains, Baguio's dramatic landscapes, old colonial architecture, and winding mountain roads create an inherently cinematic and haunting backdrop.
Baguio residents have an incredible tradition of community celebration. Horror, like any great festival, brings people together in shared, transformative experiences.
With the upcoming Baguio Horror Film Festival, BHF is positioning Baguio as the horror film capital of the Philippines — attracting filmmakers, actors, and fans from across the country.
