Submissions

The 2012 Mile High Horror Festival is now open for submissions! 

The festival will take place October 5-7, 2012 at the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax.

We are an IMDb qualifying Festival, which means that all films in consideration will receive an invitation to create a title page on the Internet Movie Database!

This festival is three days of fun, parties, panels, events, and most importantly independent horror films.

Submission categories include Feature Length Films, Short Films, Local Colorado Films, and Animations!

Our selection process is democratic in nature and voted on individually by members of our selection committee. Our diverse committee is made up of people from various ages and backgrounds including a horror film professor, an author in the horror genre, and a few avid horror film fans. 

Films accepted into the Mile High Horror Film Festival will then be voted on by celebrity judges and by the audience as to which ones receive awards.


Our 2012 celebrity judges will be announced soon.  Our 2011 judges included:

Dan Myrick (Director/Producer of The Blair Witch Project) = Judging our Short Film Category for the most innovative short film of the 2011 MHHFF

Jeffrey Reddick (Creator and Writer of Final Destination) = Celebrity Judge in Attendance


Our 2012 Prizes will be announced soon. Our 2011 prizes included:
