In addition to a stellar lineup of horror and sci-fi shorts and feature films, Shriekfest sets itself apart by truly supporting independent filmmakers through networking and community events.
Shriekfest, now in its “Sweet 16th” year, was created in July 2001 by Denise Gossett and has grown into the longest-running and one of the largest horror and sci-fi film festivals in the country. Since its inception, Shriekfest has offered young and upcoming writers, actors, and producers a chance to have their work screened and rated by peers.
