The Midsummer Scream Halloween Festival packs all the thrills, scares, and fun of October into one summer weekend. Dozens of haunt and Halloween themed attractions, including walk thru mazes, horror themed VR experiences and escape rooms, and immersive theatre, along with over three stages featuring panels, presentations, and performances from Southern California's biggest theme parks and names in dark entertainment!
The HorrorBuzz "Screaming Room" features a carefully curated mix of film programming blocks with terrifying creations to cater to every taste, and an especially keen interest in supporting the indie horror and beginning filmmaker communities.
We're seeking a variety of films that celebrate Halloween and the spirit of horror to fill potential programming blocks including animated and family friendly shorts, creepypasta/urban legend-inspired tales, comedic horror, extreme horror, and anything spooky!
**Only submit films that fall into the horror genre or are featured around Halloween.**
**WE DO NOT PROVIDE WAIVERS - REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED. FILMS MUST BE UNDER 20 MINUTES TO BE CONSIDERED, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.**
Two weekend passes to Midsummer Scream (July 29, 30, 31 2022) will be provided to the creators of each accepted project.
