"There are only a few of us that remember the Strange Days now..."

Step right up!
FILMMAKERS, ARTISTS and WEIRDOS of every sort!

Welcome to The Strange Days Horror Fest! We accept submissions of all kinds. Be it short films, features, screenplays, photography, music/score, digital art, or anything else you can think of. If you have a passion for it, then we would love to check it out!

We have a true love for Horror and Sci-Fi, but please feel free to push the boundaries of what exactly that means! No restrictions on rating, length, or year it was produced; there is a place in the shadows for you all! If it's bloody, gruesome, terrifying, or just straight up bizarre, we want to see it!

We hold a special black spot in our hearts for independent films with passion. Where you can feel the love for the genre from the filmmaker, despite the size and scope of the project.

We don't believe in judging projects simply based on budgetary restraints. We will judge a film with a $50 budget the same as a $500,000 budget. If the heart is there, then we'll see it and be proud to showcase your talents!

Each month we will hold an award ceremony where we will announce the best projects in each category, and the winners will be given a custom certificate for their excellent work! One overall project who we feel truly embodies the essence of STRANGE will win Best of the Fest!

"What touched this place cannot be quantified or understood by human science. It was just a Festival Out of Space..."

Share your horrible creations and join the STRANGENESS!
