The Killer Valley Horror Film Festival was founded in 2007 by filmmaker Randy Granstrom. For 13 years we've been showcasing the best in indie horror and sci-fi.

KVHFF is a two-night event (along with the Killer Valley Comedy Festival) featuring a collection of horror and sci-fi shorts and sometimes a pre-selected feature, to an 18+ crowd, with drinks available, live entertainment, and an awards ceremony immediately after the last film. A few years ago we opened it up beyond our Southern Oregon roots, to filmmakers worldwide and had our best festival yet! We featured horror-themed vendors and have had special guest, Adrienne King star of the original Friday the 13th appear in the past.

With limited time slots available, we're looking for shorter shorts, ideally 5 -10 minutes, 15 at the most. The films must have a serious horror or sci-fi vibe to them, if not, no matter how good it is, we won't show it!

If you're a Jefferson State filmmaker or shot your film in or around Southern Oregon/Northern California, send us a message and we can get you a free entry.

No money, but you get a trophy and lifelong acclaim!

Terms and rules

We're pretty free-wheeling at Killer Valley Horror Film Fest, we're just looking to have one awesome night of horror-themed entertainment and to have some drinks with cool folks that enjoy scary flicks. We're mostly looking for audience-pleasing films. Films that make people gasp, or laugh, or even better both!

If you live in the area or want to make the trek to the festival, let us know, and we're that much more likely to admit your film into our fest. Is that fair, maybe not? But we want filmmakers to be able to see their film with an audience. We're all filmmakers ourselves, and this fest started as a way to get our goofy, gory films in front of people. As we continue to open it up to more filmmakers, we want the opportunity to meet you and for you to meet fans of horror directly. Of course, if we think your film kicks ass and you can't make it, we'd still love to show it. Thanks!

We're looking for super short horror films! (seriously if it's over 30 seconds, we're not watching it.) We want something quick, that we can use as a bumper between films, that we'll add our logo to at the end. (You retain all rights, it's only for our screening.) Free entries and Free admission to the fest if accepted. What we're asking for is 5 - 30 second horror themed films, skits, jokes, whatever... with a scare, a laugh, something gross, spoof your favorite horror movie. Whatever you want, just entertain us! You can make something new or if you've already got something in that vein (you've made a Vine or an Instagram) than feel free to send that in.

Over 15 Minute Films
Early Bird (1st May, 2021) $10
Regular (1st July, 2021) $15
Late (31st August, 2021) $25

We really aren't looking for films longer than 15 minutes, but understand that sometimes all that horror just can't be contained. Message us for the password, get to know us, send us a kick-ass trailer and we'll probably make an exception.
