MISSION STATEMENT:
The Eerie Horror Film Festival was established in order to provide more opportunities and exposure for filmmakers, screenwriters and video game developers working within the horror, science fiction and suspense genres, as well as to draw more attention to the Northwestern Pennsylvania region via our annual film festival and other, year round special events.
Our organization hopes to provide an educational and entertaining visual experience for the attendees of the Eerie Horror Film Festival, which will showcase and celebrate the diversity of the projects submitted to our competition based event each year.
We also hope to establish a forum for filmmakers, where novices and seasoned veterans alike can interact and learn from one another, as well as from our array of special celebrity guests and industry professionals.
FILM SCREENINGS / SPECIAL EVENTS:
Overlooked, underrated, and misunderstood, the horror and science fiction genres have been virtually ignored and shunned by the mainstream since the earliest days of cinema.
Through the decades, these films and stories have entertained and thrilled audiences around the world and continue to grow in popularity to this very day, slowly but surely gaining the appreciation and respect that they deserve.
There is an incredible amount of talent in this field that goes unnoticed and unappreciated and The Eerie Horror Film Festival hopes to reverse that trend.
The Eerie Horror Film Festival, which takes place at the prestigious Warner Theatre, in Erie, Pa., will feature even more special guests, bigger prizes and lots of mayhem !
