80 Screams International Film Festival is back… with a wicked new twist!

Returning in 2027 as the film festival that comes to you, this LIVE, and online, event is now part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the cult-hit horror series, Saturday Fright Theater. We will be bringing you the best of BOTH worlds. If you can’t make it to the fest, we bring the fest to YOU!

Founded in 2018, 80 Screams has always championed the boldest, bloodiest, and most original voices in indie horror, spotlighting everything from micro-shorts to full-length features.

This year, we’re resurrecting the fest as a curated, month-long virtual showcase, designed to bring your film directly to an audience of die-hard horror fans, critics, and fellow filmmakers.

Saturday Fright Theater presents: 80 Screams will feature selected films in special programming blocks, complete with awards, filmmaker Q&As, live panels, audience chats, and surprises hosted by the twisted mind behind the series, Erik William.

This is your chance to have your film discovered by new audiences, celebrated by a cult-favorite horror platform, and immortalized in a month-long virtual scream-fest.

Whether your film is terrifying, experimental, hilarious, or just plain weird, if it “screams” Indie Horror, we want to see it.

Get your film seen. Get discovered. Join the “80 Screams” Team
