Ready, Set, "boo!"
This is the announcement our filmmakers have been waiting for all year.
At the Frightfilm Kick-Off event, Tuesday August 3rd, we announced the following three criteria.
Each Frightfilm must contain the following.
1. A set of jumper-cables must be handled one of the leading actors.
2. A shadow must be the major element in a shot.
3. A line of dialogue from a classic horror film must be spoken and then acknowledged in the credits.
Now that you know the criteria you may begin your film-making. If you've been waiting for this announcement, you still have time to register your team and enter the competition. Fill out the registration form below and get going!
the skelly award
A short film competition that's all about scaring your audience
Whether you're a working professional or a young beginner, make a short (13 minutes or less) horror film and scare the pants off your competition.
You'll have enough time. This isn't a weekend production. Filmmaking begins August 3, 2021 and ends October 3, 2021.
You'll have 2 months to write, produce and edit your scary film. That's time enough to create an award winning film (read video) that could start you on the way to becoming the next Tobe Hooper or Wes Craven.

The goal of this competition is to make just one type of film, SCARY!
All submitted films must fit in that genre. Mixed genres (Horror/scary, Horror/comedy, Scary SCI-FI, etc) will be accepted. Films that do not fit in the scary genre will be disqualified from all awards, but will be shown at the screening event.
