This is my attempt to make a complete and current list of all the horror film
festivals in the world. Please help me keep this list updated! If you have info, please email me at upp_mike@yahoo.com. I've tried only to include festivals who accept submissions from filmmakers. There are many festivals showing already-released films. Such festivals are not listed here. Support the LIST Tiny donations through PayPal to support the LIST are appreciated...
