*Cleveland Horror Fest <http://clevelandhorror.com> *returns with new dates--this *December 2nd - 4th* at *Atlas Cinemas in Shaker Square*! This three day event will showcase independent horror films from around the world (feature films, shorts, and everything in between), playing on two screens throughout the event weekend. We are also accepting horror genre screenplays of all lengths for our screenplay competition–top screenplay submissions will be showcased as a directed table read during the festival. In addition, we’re lining up some great workshops and fun events, covering topics like screenwriting, special effects, distribution/sales agents, and movie trivia. Come out for the whole weekend, or pick and choose which events you’d like to attend–just be prepared for plenty of great horror, and a fun time for all! Films and screenplays will be judged by a panel of industry professionals for a variety of awards. Submissions for films and screenplays are currently open via FilmFreeway <https://filmfreeway.com/ClevelandHorrorFest>.
