Welcome to the first annual awards-based competition calling for both film and comics! Famous Monsters has partnered with the Santa Rosa Entertainment Group to seek out the next generation of great genre filmmakers in order to share their creations with the world!

Designed to discover new talent, unite the entertainment community, and encourage genre conversation, the annual The Silver Scream Film & Comic Festival is a three-day event comprised of film screenings, award ceremonies, social gatherings, and celebratory parties.

The Silver Scream Film and Comic Fest will also be celebrating some of horror’s greatest. Director John Landis and Special Effects Makeup Creator Rick Baker will be joining us for a special 35th Anniversary screening of An American Werewolf in London and a Q&A. Nightmare on Elmstreet star Heather Langencamp will also be attending to help us host a tribute to the late Wes Craven. Simpsons’ animator and FM scar-toonist Eric Keyes will also be in attendance for panels. Stay tuned for more guest announcements!
