Help Us Keep Independent Horror Alive! 🖤

We’re eager to open submissions for Ethereal Horror Fest 2027, but first, we need to close out the financial obligations from this year’s festival.

As a nonprofit, every dollar makes a difference. Producing an independent film festival comes with significant costs, and we're working hard to ensure we can continue giving independent filmmakers the platform they deserve.

We can't open submissions for 2027 until we've paid off 2026.

If you believe in what we're building, please consider donating or sharing our fundraiser. Every contribution helps us move forward.
