On October 22, prepare to have your soiled pants scared right off when Creative Loafing Presents: Reel Terror 2011. A one-day film festival celebrating the local horror scene and the many brave souls who risk life and financial ruin in pursuit of their dreams, Reel Terror will include panel discussions with area filmmakers, celebrity appearances, screenings of scary movies shot all over the Bay area and the state, an audience-dictated awards ceremony and much more.
Whether you’re a local film-nerd working on a low budget creep-a-thon or an experienced hack that’s just completed their magnum opus, we want to hear from you. To enter, fill out the online entry form by clicking here. You will have the option of providing an online link to your film for us to review or sending us a DVD. (Note: We’ll need a DVD either way if your film is selected for the festival.) We will then notify those selected for the festival by Sept. 30, 2011.
