About the festival

*UPDATE*
We wanted to let everyone know that our 2020 Festival will still go on.

We have no intention of letting our filmmakers down, by canceling our 2020 Festival. These are very scary times, and unfortunately, we don't know what's going to happen from day to day.

If we are inside of our homes #STAYATHOME during Festival Time we will make sure that your film projects are judged, and awards/laurels, etc. will be sent out to the award-winning films, put on the website and social media!

Email us with any questions or concerns

Thank You for your support of our Festival, and we are excited to see all of the amazing projects submitted for our 2020 Festiva!

Please stay safe

Things 2 Fear 2020 Film Festival 10/01/2020 - 10/31/2020

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Winchester, VA

Things 2 Fear Film Fest is a horror film festival by filmmakers, and fans of the horror genre. We want to shine a light on the horror genre as much as we can. Horror is our love, and we want to offer indie filmmakers a chance to show us your horrific visions on screen!
Once films are selected by our judges you will be notified, and the winning films will be viewed at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester, VA

We also offer another film challenge! If you are up for a SUPER CHALLENGE enter your film with a surprise prop mailed to you directly from Things 2 Fear Film Fest. Once you receive your prop, you must use it somewhere in your short film for your film to be eligible for the SUPER CHALLENGE. When your film is ready for submission, you must email us, so that we can send you a waiver code( so that don't pay twice!). For non- North American entries you will receive a theme or downloadable paper prop to add to your film! Email us for any questions.

We will offer a non-competition category.
