The winners of the fourth annual Frightfilm Competition were announced in a ceremony hosted by Frightfilm co-founder Jeff Winkelman at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio on Sunday October 30, 2022.
The awards ceremony was held immediately following the premiere of all the pictures to an audience of film-makers and horror film devotees.
“The judges did an excellent job again this year choosing the winners in each of the fourteen categories.” Said Frightfilm co-founder Bill Anderson. Nineteen industry professionals from across the country volunteered to serve as judges.
“In addition to presenting the Skelly award to the filmmakers in traditional categories, our audience got to serve as judges as well”. Jim Timmerman, co-founder went on to say, “It was great fun to have our audience also select their favorite films”.
The Skelly statuette is the award presented by Frightfilm for outstanding achievement in horror short film-making.
Jeff Winkelman, co-founder summed up the event saying, “All the filmmakers should feel great about their Frightfilm picture. They created a thirteen minute horror film in less than two months. That takes a lot of dedication, attention to detail and creativity. Our filmmakers are true professionals.”
