Independent Horror Movie Awards

Our mission is to help promote the criminally overlooked but creatively fertile field of indie horror by singling out top notch work with a wide variety of awards.

Movies, scripts, and web series are all welcome! We give special attention to low budget films especially no budget entries! We're sick to death of the endless barrage of remakes and sequels that so clearly signaled the demise of originality in mainstream horror. Most of the horror classics still beloved today were indie films: John Carpenter's Halloween, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Evil Dead, Night of the Living Dead, etc.

With all kinds of different awards including many unique to our beloved genre, you have more chances to win. Every two months, we choose nominees and winners so filmmakers don't have to wait an entire year for results. Show More

With all kinds of different awards including many unique to our beloved genre, you have more chances to win. Every two months, we choose nominees and winners so filmmakers don't have to wait an entire year for results. This enables you to quickly build buzz for your project. Winners and nominees will be announced by the 10th of the following month after the final bi-monthly deadline. For example, the results for April will be posted by May 10th.

We are an online competition that does not screen films to the public so you don't have to worry about ruining your premiere status. This also keeps submissions fees as low as possible.
