| The Films |
| Each film or video's genre must be able to be catagorized as horror. This is a wider range than one might think. Any storyline, visuals, or concept that could even remotely give an audience a scare, everything from disturbing avante garde to traditional slasher films, should be included. Creativity is important as is technical execution. For more on the judging process, visit the awards section of this site. |
