Halloween
in New England…what could possibly be better? On the darkest days of October,
the horror world comes alive and brings the best of the genre to the big
screen. Horror filmmaker Geno McGahee, the Festival Director, has teamed up
with the Palmer Historical and Cultural Center to bring forth a festival
intended to terrify.
The
Scared Stiff Halloween Horror Film Festival is a celebration of horror, mixing
elements of a film festival, town festival and horror convention. It is a
worldwide call out to all filmmakers to submit work in both written and film
form. Every entry is viewed/read completely before a judgment is made. The
winners will be shown big screen at the Palmer Historical and Cultural Center
in Three Rivers, Massachusetts, during a festival of the same name, where the
Halloween spirit will be rampant and the crowd will be large.
Unlike
many other festivals, Scared Stiff has an “Entertainment Value” category that
allows entries the chance for recognition that they may not have had with other
festivals. A film can be rough around the edges, but if it has the heart and
the ability to keep us glued to the screen, we will forgive technical
shortcomings and even questionable acting. There is a market for everything and
we have opened the doors to allow everyone to play.
The
Scared Stiff Halloween Horror Film Festival will offer prizes to the winners
(prizes to be determined) along with the confirmation that your film was
amongst the best of the entries, playing in front of a packed house of an
anticipated 300 people.
A
panel of horror and film expert judges will select the final chosen entries
that will play big screen on the weekend of the 25th/26th of October in front
of the packed house, where the viewers will become the final judges.
The
SCARED STIFF HALLOWEEN HORROR FILM FESTIVAL will accept entries from April 1st,
2013 through August 15th, 2013. Notices will be sent out by September 15th to
those included and excluded.
