About

The Horror Section Europe is the European arm of The Horror Section, the media company founded by Eli Roth to build the world’s premier genre brand. We bring that mission to the continent, finding and backing the horror filmmakers who are shaping the genre in every European language.

The Horror Section was founded in 2025 on a simple idea: horror fans and horror makers deserve a company built around them. Creators are empowered, intellectual property is owned and protected, risk-taking is rewarded, and true fans come first. The Horror Section Europe works to the same principles, with a focus on unhinged, premium horror made in Europe.

Europe has a long and influential horror tradition, from the shadows of German Expressionism and the baroque excess of Italian giallo to Spanish gothic, French extremity and Nordic folk horror. A new generation of directors is carrying that tradition forward, often on small budgets and with big ideas. Too many of them still struggle to reach the audience their films deserve.

That is where we come in. The Horror Section Europe acquires, co-finances, produces and releases genre films, and structures its deals so filmmakers keep the creative freedom, support and resources they need to take real risks. We champion new and unique voices alongside established names, and we work with sales agents, distributors and festivals across the continent to put European horror in front of fans worldwide.

The European section is led by Stephen Gaffney, a director, screenwriter and producer and the founder of Deep Web Films, whose credits include Red Room, Bully and Class A. He brings a filmmaker’s view to every deal, because he has been on the other side of the table.
