Thank you for your interest in the S.O.S. Indie Horror Film Fest! The SOS IHFF remains true to its calling to provide a voice and platform for filmmakers from southern Ohio and the Greater Appalachian area-but we don't stop there!
Each year we hand select short horror films from not only Ohio but around the world to screen at an iconic theater nestled in the heartland of Ohio. With special judges and guest-hosts, costume contests and awards, it's a night that patrons and filmmakers alike look forward to year after year.
The SOS IHFF is currently taking time off to rebrand.
