Frightfilm 2025

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR TEAMS, YOU’VE MADE YOUR MOVIE! 

TIME TO DO YOUR HAPPY DANCE.

Your films are now in the hands of our judges.  They will be reviewing your work in 14 different categories and selecting the top five nominees in each. We’ll post the list of nominees starting October 17th. 

In addition, our BIGGEST announcement ever is still to be made.

Each team will be given two complimentary tickets to the Premiere and Awards on October 25th.  The person and the email address used to register the team should have already received that email.

We will be returning this year to the UC Clermont College and the beautiful Krueger Auditorium. The address is 4200 University Lane, Batavia, Ohio 45103.

To purchase tickets to the October 25th event, click here.  

We'll determine the start times for the film blocks in the coming week.  We believe the start time will be 1pm with the awards presentation shortly after the last film block.

As we did last year we’ll have a snack available in the lobby throughout the entire day. Bean and Brew will be providing box meals starting after the first block of films.  To place your order click here.

We will continue to make announcements about the event on our Facebook and Instagram pages. 

We'd love to see the fun you had on location and in pre and post production. Post images on our Facebook page and/or send a download link to us in an email to info@frightfilmcompetition.com. We'd love to show them at the premiere during intermissions.

Thanks to all of you, this is our seventh year!  We applaud you and all the hard work you and your team do by creating your original short horror film.   We very much want to meet you at the premiere. Please look for us, we’d love to snap a picture with you.

You're keeping filmmaking alive by scaring us to death.
