Horror Film Awards is a film festival that takes place once a year. Our goal in the field of horror film awards is to reach out to amateur, budding and professional filmmakers and create a community of filmmakers.
We cooperate with various distributors, to whom we regularly offer the best short and feature documentaries, feature films and, of course, horror movies! If your horror film will be of interest to various investors or distributors, we will help you with the distribution of your film.
The first year of the Horror Film Awards took place in the old Franciscan monastery in the town of Rožňava, which is located near the Slovak-Hungarian border. Due to the increased interest of spectators from abroad, we decided to hold a festival in NY, USA. The venue for the second annual Horror Film Awards will be announced soon. The films will be presented on February 24, 2022.
Given the current situation regarding COVID, the Horror Film Awards team decided to screen the best films online. We believe that in this way we will bring film art closer to more people and filmmakers, as if we were organizing a live screening in front of a few audiences.
Selected films will be screened online. The best films will receive a unique diploma.
Our secondary goal is to connect filmmakers and offer them, in addition to the possibility of a presentation, also to find a job or a collaborator.
