Ethereal Horror Fest & Awards is a two day event which brings a unique opportunity for you to showcase your very best work in horror.
We not only have the traditional awards for film creators but we also honor the elite in the horror & paranormal world with two special awards for excellence in the industry.
Ethereal is run by filmmakers in horror for filmmakers like you!
We understand what goes into making a film, especially in horror. We see the small things and the significant things in your film which makes you stand out from the rest.
Ethereal has a female festival director who is a horror filmmaker and horror lover, so we want to honor the women stepping into the horror spotlight in any position with our Women in Horror Award. After all it takes a team!
If your film is any sub-genre of horror then we want to see your work, horror is in the eye of the beholder!
