The 15 Second Horror Short Film Competition Returns for 2016
Can you create a terrifying, bloody nightmare in only 15 seconds?
Calling all horror filmmakers! Can you create a terrifying, bloody nightmare in only 15 seconds? If so, keep scrolling down.
2015's 15 Second Horror Film Challenge was a great success that showcased up and coming talent within the Horror industry. Many filmmakers who entered were amateurs or semi-professionals, which led to some extremely inventive and intriguing shorts.
Lights Out gives it the thumbs up!
So what does it take to enter?
A love and knowledge of the horror genre, a camera (or iPhone, I guess) and a story that can last no more than 15 seconds!
Sound like fun? You bet it does, unless your just into rom-coms, that is.
See last year's winners below....
The beauty of the competition is that it gets lazy filmmakers up off their asses to make something new that can actually be shot in a single day! (Don't worry, I'm counting myself in there as well.)
Here's the official blurb from Andrew. J. Robinson of Work Obey Films, founder of the competition:

So filmmakers, here's your chance to get your tales of terror in front of a medley of "guest judges" and maybe get your foot or dismembered head in the door.....
I made CHANCE, PHOTO and RIP.....can you spot them?
Plus, there's new guest judge Najarra Townsend, the actress from Contracted and upcoming cult feature Wolf Mother - The Movie, who's joining in the madness.
Hubba hubba :)
This is a true competition for horror fans by horror fans and I absolutely cannot wait until entries start popping up online.
Oh, and here's one of mine from last year involving a creepy photograph. I'll just subtly drop that in here. ;)

The Diary of Souls
The old oak stood sentinel at the edge of the graveyard, its gnarled branches reaching toward the heavens. Ivy clung to its trunk, weaving a tapestry of green and gray. It was here, beneath the ancient tree, that Eliza first glimpsed the veil between worlds.

Beyond the Veil of Darkness"
In the small town of Ravenswood, whispers of a sinister force lurking beyond the veil of darkness have long plagued the residents. For centuries, tales of disappearances and strange occurrences have woven a tapestry of fear in the hearts of those who dare to wander the desolate streets after nightfall. As a thick fog descends upon the town, obscuring visibility and distorting reality, an unsuspecting group of friends find themselves drawn into the mystery. But what begins as a thrill-seeking adventure quickly spirals into a nightmarish descent into the unknown, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs beyond recognition
