About the Competition

Welcome to our very own Motel Hell - home to the scariest collection horror shorts on the Web. Think you have what it takes to be the next Wes Craven, John Carpenter, David Cronenberg or Alfred Hitchcock? If so, breakout your bone-chilling best and join the rest of our ghoulish guests for this creepy competition!

The Master of the Macabre competition is all about challenging aspiring filmmakers to create and submit a groundbreaking horror short film. Over the course of two rounds, our online audience and panel of judges will cheerfully cut down those who dare to accept our challenge until only the best are left standing.

When all others have succumbed to the nightmare, our grand prize winner will make his or her way out of the darkness and be recognized as the sole survivor. As a reward for making it through the night, the grand prize winner will earn the opportunity of a lifetime. Learn more.
