WELCOME Hello and thank you for attending the third annual Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival! We are excited to start the festival this year on Friday the 13th and could not think of a more appropriate date to begin our showcase of the best new independent horror films on the planet. We moved locations to downtown Park Circle to bring everyone closer to restaurants and shops that they can visit between film blocks and after the festival each day. In our previous 900+ seat theater, our audience was lost in the large facility, but now with the smaller theater, we think the energy of the crowd will be felt more during our film blocks! As we continue to grow as a festival, we will still make sure the fest stays true to our original purpose… the films and filmmakers. Crimson Screen is a great place to meet filmmakers from all over the world and make lifelong connections. We will continue to bring in special guests each year and this year we will be giving our first ever “Horror Icon Award” to our special guest Felissa Rose. Don’t miss the special screening of “Sleepaway Camp” on Saturday night with Felissa in attendance and be sure to get your picture taken with her on the dREaD carpet in front of our step and repeat! We also want to continue to offer free workshops to our attendees and this year we have one by local author and professor W. Scott Poole on H.P. Lovecraft, taking place Friday afternoon. Be sure to pick up one of our new t-shirts to add to your collection and get the visiting filmmakers to sign the back. It will make a great collectable and also help us to be able to continue to put on a great festival for you. Thank you again to the support of the North Charleston Cultural Arts Department for providing the facility to hold our event. We could not do it without their support. Congratulations to all the filmmakers and screenwriters that were selected as 2016 Official Selections and Screenplay Finalists. To be chosen over the hundred’s and hundred’s of submissions we received this year should make you feel proud.
