Frightfilm 2025

Production has begun. Good luck to our teams.

Here are some the highlights from the Frightfilm Kick-Off.

The Prop is Poison.  We're defining poison as a substance that can kill a human that is manipulated/handled/used by a character.

The Cinematic Element is a Silhouette Shot. 

And of course include a line from a classic horror film. 

NOTE: You must indicate the timecode where the elements appear in your film within your credits.

And the BIG news? We’ve made the release form process much easier. As you know all cast, crew, location owners and music performers & composers need to fill out a release form.  The paperwork is gone. 

Now tell everyone to click below to fill out their release.  

Click here for the Release Form Link

Tell everyone to go to the www.frightfilmcompetition.com website and use the link above to submit their release(s).

Everything, EVERYTHING, needs to be submitted by midnight ET, September 27th. Remember that this means you can submit it early too.

All the other stuff can be found in the Rules tab above.

Each team will get two free tickets to the Premiere and Awards Event, so be thinking about that as you finish the film.

We'll announce the premiere and awards location once we know the number of films submitted. If you have a connection to a venue that has a good quality screen and sound system please let us know. We'd love to consider it.

We're shooting for the Frightfilm 2025 Premiere and Awards Gala to be held either October 25th or 26th.

We'd love to see the fun you have on location and in pre and post production. Post images on our Facebook page and/or send a download link to us in an email to info@frightfilmcompetition.com. We'd love to show them at the premiere during intermissions.

Some teams are thinking about personalizing the FFC T-shirt with their film/name/or crew position so they can wear it on location. Order it now and have your local T-Shirt shop put your info on the back or have fun doing it yourself. Scroll down and click below to order your T-shirt and we’ll get the to you asap.

Thanks to all of you, this is our seventh year! We couldn't have done it without you. We applaud you and all the hard work you and your team do in creating your original short horror film. The film-making craft is alive and well in Frightfilm.
