Shriekfest Announces its 2018 Call for Entries!

Shriekfest, the Los Angeles Horror/SciFi Film Festival continues its tradition as Los Angeles’ Premier horror film event, presenting an exciting program of films each fall with beautiful Los Angeles as its backdrop. Now, in it’s 18th year, Shriekfest L.A takes place at the legendary Raleigh Studios, which is the largest independent studio operator in the country. The second Shriekfest Orlando takes place at the famous Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center, which was originally founded in 1923! We offer filmmakers and film fans alike an ideal setting in 2 world-famous cities. Both established and emerging filmmakers gain media exposure, connect with the region’s diverse audiences, and participate in an acclaimed event attended by industry professionals as well as horror and scifi fans. Every film accepted into Shriekfest has the opportunity to screen on both coasts for the price of one admission! Over the past Seventeen years, Shriekfest has welcomed numerous indie icons into its family and we are always looking to add to the Shriekfest Family!

We are looking for original films and screenplays. We are accepting films/screenplays in five categories: narrative feature, narrative short, narrative super short, music video, feature screenplay, and short screenplay. And these genres: horror, comedy horror, thriller, sci-fi, and fantasy

We will be awarding prizes to the winning filmmaker or screenwriter in each category.

Festival Founder and Director Denise Gossett says “We are already planning some exciting things for our 18th year!”.

Last year’s festival was a great success. We had our biggest audience yet and we had more than 55 filmmakers/screenwriters in attendance. Plus, we were able to introduce some amazing indie horror films to Los Angeles and Orlando!

We look forward to seeing your film and/or screenplays!
