INTERNATIONAL HORROR FILM FESTIVAL ~ We accept films from around the world!!
* * * * *
The rumors are true, the Northern Frights Festival will return for a SIXTH year!! That's cause for one scary celebration, and we intend to bring the fear like never before. Stay tuned for all the updates.
Once again, we're bringing the world's scariest films to Northern Ontario, and we're throwing this down on October 3, 2020 at the Sudbury Theatre Centre in beautiful downtown Sudbury, Ontario. It's a great venue with great people, so we've decided to settle in. We're kicking it phantom of the paradise style, hoping to gain squatters rights to the place.
This is Northern Ontario's PREMIERE horror festival, and we're gearing up to bring you another heavy hit of horror!
We love horror movies, and we love those who make them, so we want to screen your films! We're looking for all types of horror flicks...monsters, psychos, killer plants, demon dogs, supernatural, super serious, hilarious, dreadful, creepy clowns, possessed machines, ghost horror, found footage, we want them all!!
Anything goes, as long as it's horror! As for format, we're focusing this year on shorts, no longer than 30 minutes. We're also down with documentaries, animation, claymation, puppetry, wizardry, and we love trailers!!
Submit today, and showcase your work to a new audience of horror fans! Help us celebrate our fourth Northern Frights Festival!
