About the festival

Blood Bash 2021 will be the 5th annual Blood Bash International Horror Film Festival and Convention! Once again we will be focusing on short films only this year, and will have three awards up for grabs in 2021:

Best In Show
Favorite Male Performance
Favorite Female Performance

Blood Bash is an annual celebration of all things blood, guts, gore and more! We feature over 40 horror themed vendors, free to play horror themed carnival games, video game challenges, horror themed tabletop games, trivia contests, cosplay contests, and much more!

Of course, the bread and butter of Blood Bash is our Short Film Festival! Over the past two years (since we've been at FilmFreeway) we have received a total of over TWO THOUSAND film entries! Every year we narrow it down to the top 40-45 submissions and those films vie for the coveted "Best In Show" trophy!

In 2020, our winning film was "Mama's Boy."
In 2019, our winning film was "Pearlies."

We have a 3 year date of completion cycle, so films that are submitted for this year MUST have a completion date of 2020, 2019, or 2018! You can DEFINITELY submit a film if it is NOT selected in a previous Blood Bash if your film still meets the criteria, because just because your film didn't make it one year, doesn't mean it might not make it the next!

Blood Bash is a small film festival and convention, but it truly is built from the ground up with absolute love and devotion to the gaming, geek, arts, and horror communities. We take great pride in offering things to do at our show that aren't available anywhere else, helping to ensure Blood Bash is one Bash you'll never forget! Hope to see you there!

Blood Bash Best In Show: The best overall short in the competition! Winner will receive a Blood Bash Best In Show trophy, a spot on the Blood Bash Wall of Fame, and a $100 cash prize!

Blood Bash Favorite Male Performance: Our panel will choose their favorite male performance out of all of the movies!

Blood Bash Favorite Female Performance: Our panel will choose their favorite female performance out of all of the movies!
