About the festival

The Horror Collective is a horror film distribution label. The Horror Collective's mission is to foster a community of independent horror filmmakers and connect their films to fans, all done transparently and fairly. We provide direct distribution combined with a cost-effective, high-impact festival, marketing, and release strategy. The Horror Collective aims to bring your film to the right audience.

Our acquisitions team uses FilmFreeway as an additional way to scout for new feature-length and short genre films that may fit our distribution goals. We believe that a direct-submission platform allows independent filmmakers to bypass the barriers erected without a sales agent or manager in place and to have their work considered for distribution for Entertainment Squad/The Horror Collective's slate.

The Horror Collective programs a branded, curated short film block at the Days of the Dead horror conventions (www.daysofthedead.com), Panic Fest (https://panicfilmfest.com/), and several other genre film festivals around the world. These short blocks are comprised of FilmFreeway submissions and these selections may be licensed for a new anthology series from The Horror Collective set to debut in 2020 on Amazon.

Films with sales agents are encouraged to submit their work as well. We have put in place a $10 submission fee to avoid mass submissions from inappropriate sources.

We are seeking short films for ongoing anthology series and original series consideration. We are seeking feature-length horror films for theatrical and digital distribution.
Selected short films may appear in branded short film blocks at partnered film festivals.
