Each year the Eerie Horror Film Festival attracts thousands of fans, filmmakers and screenwriters to the city of Erie, Pennsylvania, for a four day celebration of independent cinema, featuring special celebrity guests, screenings and workshops. http://eeriehorrorfest.com
The competition based event opens its call for entries each season on Halloween day and accepts film and screenplay submissions from all around the world, with a special discount for students 10 – 17 years of age.
Over 400 films have been shown at the festival since its inception, including several world premieres and movies that eventually secured distribution deals with major companies.
With their current and ever expanding contacts, the Eerie Horror Film Festival hopes to play an active role in connecting their filmmakers and screenwriters directly with those within the industry.

The Festival hopes that their efforts continue to attract attention, tourism and economic impact to the Erie County area and that they can provide an even bigger and better event for attendees each and every year.
The next Eerie Horror Film Festival & Expo takes place October, 2017 (times, dates and locations to be announced soon) in NW PA.
