(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- The Acme Screening Room will present the second annual Lambertville Halloween Film Festival from October 27-29, 2023. They look forward to welcoming everyone back to showcase the incredible talents from some of today’s best Halloween themed filmmakers; think spooky thrillers, paranormal activities, and horror.

As arts venues and communities around the region continue their triumphant return, they are thrilled to be back for year two of their festival and to be part of Lambertville’s history as “Halloweenville.” To grow on that history, they will have daytime activities for all ages celebrating the Halloween season. Ghoul making, ghost tours, and a Monster Bash Costume party are just some of the fun.

A panel of star judges will be awarding the spookiest, scariest, and all-around creepiest films with the coveted Golden Pumpkin Award as well as the title of Best Picture. An audience selection for Best Picture and Best Short will also be announced. Hunterdon Teen Arts Festival is also sponsoring a teen category with awards and screenings to be held on Sunday, October 29.

Discounted weekend packages are now available for all films and special events. For more information and updates check the website at www.acmescreeningroom.org/lhff
