Washington, D.C.’s Spooky Movie Film Festival is more fun than beating a rotten corpse stuffed with live rats. And if you want to be part of the madness and mayhem that will take place on Oct. 14-17, now’s the time to get your film in.

So, what kinds of films is Spooky Movie looking for? Is your movie gross? Is it dripping with blood and gore? Is it filled with unbearable tension? Will it make an audience squirm in its collective seat? Is it unbelievably sick? Or just unbelievably twisted? Well, you get the idea. If your film is spooky, scary, creepy and / or eerie, then Spooky Movie wants to look at it.
