NEW FOR 2009!

Trailers:
Dark Carnival Film Festival is now accepting trailers of upcoming indie horror and sci-fi films. Trailers can be up to 7 minutes long, and must be in NTSC format.

All trailers received will be put on a compilation DVD that we will promote throughout the year! Dark Carnival travels to horror festivals and conventions all over the midwest, and we'll be screening your trailer wherever we go. We'll also show the trailers at our weekly, live schlock horror cinema show, Atomic Age Cinema.

No other festival gives you so much exposure for so little. The submission fee for trailers is only $5! Check out our online submission form for details.


Screenplays:
Dark Carnival has a new screenplay competition!

Beginning March 24, 2009 we will begin accepting screenplays for both short and feature films.

And, in another first for horror film fests - one lucky screenwriter will have their short film produced into a film, to premiere at the 2010 Dark Carnival Film Festival!

The Winner of the Best Feature Length Screenplay will win a cash prize.
