Devil's Night Gallery will be an evening of film and art in the spirit of Rod Serling's classic television series, Night Gallery. In the past we've held events in Detroit and Pittsburgh. Like everybody else, we went digital for our 2020 edition but this year, we plan to come back to the stage and have live audience event! This year we have partnered with The Senate Theater in Detroit to hold our event there on Oct. 30th (Devil's Night!) along with a screening of Alex Proyas' "The Crow" for an epic Devil's Night Double Feature.

A small handful of films will be selected to screen for this event and for each film selected, an original piece of art will be created by a local artist, based on the individual films. During the screening, the art pieces will be revealed and a short introduction given before each film is shown.

For this unique event, we're specifically looking for short films (20 mins or less) that can fit into the horror or sci-fi genres. Any budget, any skill level and any completion date is acceptable but we are looking for films with a unique take on these genres. Particularly ones with some sort of unexpected or twist ending.

Awards & Prizes

There will be no prizes but if selected, your film will screen before a real audience and we'll be happy to send you a print of the original art based on your film.

Rules & Terms

We have no real rules. We only ask that accepted filmmakers do their part to help promote the screening because a bigger audience for their film means a bigger audience for all of us.

Additionally, we make no claims to the rights of your films. By submitting you are granting us the right to screen your film to a public audience for 2 online showings (the official one and then a likely encore one, probably the next night or a week later) if officially selected. We may also consider doing a physical media release of the screening but you will be notified before that happens and be given the option to consent or have your film omitted from that.

    I was unable to attend Devil's Night, but the communication from Terence was top-notch. It seems like a very unique and engaging experience, and his follow up with me after the event was very kind. A+

    Terrence runs an intimate but passionate festival. You can tell he cares about the films, and the inclusion of having a local artist construct a piece of art based on each film to be presented at the film showcase is such a unique and fantastic aspect. I wouldn't hesitate to submit again.
