ACCEPTING SUBS UP TO OCTOBER 31, 2023
Frights! Camera! Action! is a fun, affordable and recurring horror screenplay contest which is now entering its seventh year. It's run and judged by industry professionals and a horde of horror aficionados.
We're looking for all kinds of horror. Whether your style is subtle and spine-chilling, blood-soaked and gory, psychologically twisted, or a unique blend of old-school scares and cutting-edge concepts, we welcome it all.
We accept short screenplays (up to 35 pages) and feature-length screenplays. Each entry we receive is read at least twice as part of the judging process. Writers will either win a category, place as a runner up, receive an honorable mention or not be selected.
The contest is open for submissions now. The final deadline date is October 31, 2023.
The total prize for money for the current contest is $1,350.00.
