Suburban Screams Film Festival is brought to you by the Suburban Screams Network, from the people behind Housewife of Horror, and the HSPPA(Horror & SciFi Prop Preservation Association).

We are very excited to bring you a one of a kind Film Festival. All of us involved are incredibly passionate about films, both feature length and short, and want to deliver a wonderful experience for Filmmakers and Fans alike.

The Suburban Screams Film Festival will be held in October of 2021.

*It is important to note that though Progress is being made and an increasing number of people are getting vaccinated, that as the event gets closer and the Directors feel a live event is unsafe/unwise, we will move the Festival to be online, while still making it as satisfying of an experience as we can. We care about you and your health. Everyone who wins an award will be mailed their awards.*

Filmmakers with projects selected will receive two VIP tickets(one for you and one for another person credited on the Film)to attend the Suburban Screams Film Festival, and a Swag Bag.

If you can not be present, your Award will be mailed to you.

No Entry Waivers are given.

Films must be in English, OR have English Subtitles. We are more than happy to show foreign films.

Suburban Screams places no restrictions on when the body of work was created/produced.

If material submitted is in the form of a hard copy, it will not be returned, please do not send original/only copies on DVD/Blu-ray
