Showcasing the best independent horror
films from all around the world!
Like horror films?
Then you’ll love Cleveland Horror Fest.
We’ll be showcasing horror films created by independent filmmakers all around the world–short films, feature films, and everything in between.
We also have a great lineup of workshops and panels that let you peak behind the curtain of the filmmaking process–writing, acting, special effects, and more. Plus parties and other great events.
Check out photos and more from last year’s festival.
Submissions are open for this year’s fest–send in your film or screenplay via FilmFreeway for consideration.
