The Horrible Imaginings Film Festival is a nonprofit organization that showcases art and films exploring the darker or more macabre sides of the human condition. The festival was founded in 2010 by Miguel Rodriguez in San Diego, California in order to promote and spotlight exemplary new artistic voices in what is commonly known as the horror genre.

The 7th edition of the festival was held on on September 8-10, 2017, in San Diego, California, USA.
