The Revival House Horror Trailer Challenge screenings will take place at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25, at Milton Theatre, 110 Union St., Milton. Those interested are invited to witness an afternoon of macabre moviemaking.
Filmmakers of all levels are invited to to uncage their cinematic creativity by crafting hair-raising horror trailers for a shot at winning thrilling prizes.
The Revival House co-founders, Rob Rector and Rob Waters, will unveil a specific line of dialogue and an item that must be included in all participating entries, via an announcement at 6 p.m., Friday, Oct. 16, on the Revival House Facebook page.
Filmmakers will have one week to craft a spine-chilling horror trailer for a fictitious film. Submissions are due with film entries by midnight, Friday, Oct. 23, to therevivalhouse@gmail.com.
Submitting a film is free, and local filmmakers from around the region will compete for cash prizes. Winners must be present to accept their awards.
“The Horror Trailer Challenge continues to be one of our favorite events,” said Rector. “It allows filmmakers to show off their skills, get creative in a short time frame and test the limits of their imagination.”
Waters said, “Every year, I am amazed at the level of filmmaking we receive for the event. We are fortunate to have such talented filmmakers in our area.”
Throughout the event, the audience will be asked to vote for their top three submissions, and after the votes are tabulated, the evening’s winners will be announced. Capping off the program will be a question-and-answer session with all the filmmakers, who are invited to share their experiences of crafting their creations with the crowd and network with one another.
“Even if you don’t have a film entered, it’s a blast to witness and celebrate our area filmmakers and see what they are capable of creating,” said Rector. “We are constantly surprised by the submissions every single year.”
