Registration Information




The Houston Halloween Film Festival is unique in that everyone that enters will see their work on the "Big Screen." Of course, all entries must follow the official Rules and Guidelines to be eligible for consideration.

All entries will be screened; however, a select number will be chosen to be included in the Festival Competition. All others will be screened as part of the Festival Exposition.
 
The competition will consist of two hours of films competing for the Peoples Choice Award, appointed by your peers the night of the Festival. There will also be craft awards such as best scream, best costume design, etc. that are appointed by the judges.
