"Their communication with filmmakers through out the entire process was great and their hospitality during the event was second to none."
"A great festival for film makers and horror fans alike!"
"A fantastic sold out event ! Alan and the team were extremely welcoming and the venue is perfect."
"What was really cool was that they took the time to record the audience reaction to our reveal and send it to us so that we could see from New Zealand how the Black Country audience responded to our little film. Above and beyond, right there!!"
Just some of the things filmmakers have said about our festival over the years.
2025 was the sixth year of one of the biggest and most anticipated events in the horror film festival calendar.
Every year our panel of Judges choose the best 15 films, which are then screened on the night.
All these films receive an OFFICIAL SELECTION Laurel.
The best four films receive a RUNNER UP Laurel and The overall winner not only receives a WINNER laurel but also our coveted glass trophy.
There is also a chance for one of the films screened at the event to win 'THE AUDIENCE CHOICE' Award.
This Award is voted for by the audience on the night and is always a lot of fun and creates a lot of debate!
​
This year we were delighed to be joined by the lovely people from Murder House Productions who added a certain something to the party atmosphere!
