The Oregon Screams Horror Film Festival screens international independent Horror, Horror Comedy, Dark Drama, Dark Fantasy, Experimental Horror, Dark Science Fiction, Dark Animation films, videos, screenplays, teleplays and episodic content. This event was founded by author and retired filmmaker Mikel Fair who worked on location in the Film and Television industry from 1999-2015. In 2023, Zeami Eccles-Irwin is taking over as the director of Oregon Screams Horror Film Festival. Multiple short films are screened in a "back to back" format. The northwest USA has a great fan base for horror films as well as other dark genre content intended for a mature audience. Films that make people scream, are creepy and even those that poke fun at the Horror genre are loved by the audience. When social distancing protocols allow it, this event is a great opportunity to network with filmmakers, screenwriters, crew, actors and industry professionals.

Dark Comedy Film
This category is specifically for films that fall into the darker side of the comedy genre. These films are sometimes referred to as "Black Comedy" and have a twisted sense of humor that may not be suitable for mainstream festivals. They often include scenes with character deaths or strange and gruesome situations. Dark comedy films have a unique ability to make you laugh while also making you cringe. If your audience finds themselves laughing and saying, "that's messed up," then you've likely created something quite dark. This event has screened dark comedy films that showcase strange cruelty, characters trying to dispose of a dead body, accidental poisonings, or even dreams of murders and revenge with strange dark comedic elements.

Dark Drama Film
This category is for a Drama Film that is meant for grown-ups who are at least 18 years old. These movies can be about serious and heavy subjects like murder, death, abuse, torture, suicide, depression, hallucinations, shootings, police investigations, gang violence, kidnapping, riots, uncomfortable risky situations, verbal abuse, war, PTSD, flashbacks, psychological breakdowns, or other similar topics that belong more to a "darker" Drama category and not necessarily to the Horror Film category. If a film has sex scenes or partial nudity, it should be submitted to this category instead of the regular Drama category. This will help our staff schedule late-night events and make sure we don't show this kind of material to minors.

Found Footage Comedy Film
This category is specifically for the comedy or horror comedy genre that showcases fictional recordings that are designed to resemble footage captured on old video cameras or discovered tapes. These films often leave it unclear when or where the events occurred for the characters involved. The point of view is sometimes shown through multiple characters who recorded the action and events as they unfolded. The overall production intentionally has a shaky, partially lit, or out-of-focus style to create a sense of realism and build tension. Blockbuster films like "The Blair Witch Project," "Cloverfield," and "Paranormal Activity" are popular examples. If you have created a funny found-footage film that generates laughter, this category is perfect for it.
