Screamfest Horror Film Festival is always a blast, and we at Horror Fuel are excited to see what the fest has planned for this year. Following is the fest’s first official announcement about the scheduled dates for 2020.

WHAT: The 20th annual Screamfest Horror Film Festival will take place October 6-15, 2020. Screamfest is the largest and longest running horror film festival in the United States. Considered the “Sundance of Horror,” the festival premieres and showcases new work from American and international independent horror filmmakers. 

A launchpad for careers, many of the festival’s filmmakers have garnered distribution and representation, including Paranormal Activity, which was discovered and premiered at the festival in 2007. 

Film entries are accepted in the categories of Best Feature, Directing, Cinematography, Editing, Special Effects and Musical Score. In addition, there are special categories for Best Animation, Best Short, Best Documentary, and Best Student Film, as well as a Screenplay competition.

The festival lineup will be announced in September. For more information or the latest news, visit screamfestla.com
