Japan is famous for its amazing horror movies yet it doesn't have a dedicated horror festival so we'd like to change that. We're just a new small festival but we hope to grow and become a mecca for horror fans, both domestic and international. Our judges consist of both Japanese and Americans with experience making films. Please submit your movies either with English subtitles or in English.

日本は多くの素晴らしいホラー映画で有名ですが、ホラー専用のフェスティバルがないので、私たちはそれを作りたいと思っています。私たちはまだ新しい小さな映画祭ですが、国内外のホラーファンのメッカになるように成長していきたいです。

Our festival director is Yuriko Kawanishi. She really loves Ringu and The Blair Witch Project. We have a nice venue reserved in Nakano at 5 Chome-45-9 Kamitakada for our screening date on Saturday, July 1st, 2023. Nakano is just one stop from Shinjuku aka the home of Godzilla. In between showing the selected films, we'll conduct Q&As with attending cast and crew as well as ask the audience their opinions of the movies.

選ばれた作品は、東京の中野で観客の前で上映されます。SFはもちろん、カルト、ダークファンタジー、不気味なアニメーション、ミステリー、実録の犯罪ドキュメンタリー、ホラー関連ドキュメントなど、ホラーに関連するものなら何でも歓迎です。映画祭期間中は、参加キャスト・スタッフへのQ&Aや、観客の皆様からの映画に対するご意見をお伺いする予定です。

Japan has a long cultural history with horror dating back to traditional ghost stories and classic black & white films like A Page of Madness (1926), Yotsuya Kaidan (1949), Onibaba (1964), etc. In the 1980s, the great horror magazine V-Zone was quite popular here until an awful real life incident with Tsutomu Miyazaki nicknamed the "Otaku Murderer" sparked a backlash against horror.

私たちは本当にホラーが大好きで、海外の映画制作者が日本のホラーファンと繋がる手助けをするだけでなく、この地をサポートしたいと思っています。審査員は、映画制作経験のある日本人とアメリカ人で構成されています。応募作品は、英語字幕付き、または英語でお願いします。日本語の字幕は必要ありません。

We also want to help horror fans connect with the fantastic horror scene here like the Video Market store in Shinjuku, which has been home to foreign imported releases for decades. Pretty much every Japanese horror fan knows about this store. It's like a holy shrine for horror aficionados with its signatures of celebrities who visited like Bill Moseley lining the walls in addition to Texas Chainsaw Massacre props, a lifesize Alien, etc. You can find it at the 4F 7 Chome-9-13 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku.

We welcome sci-fi films too and anything horror adjacent like cult, dark fantasy, etc.

SFはもちろん、カルト、ダークファンタジー、不気味なアニメーション、ミステリー、実録の犯罪ドキュメンタリー、ホラー関連ドキュメントなど、ホラーに関連するものなら何でも歓迎です。
