Agreements By submitting to this competition, you agree to allow your film, if selected, to be shown at the Eerie Horror Film Festival (EHFF) and at any special event or fund raiser held specifically for the promotion of the EHFF. The EHFF reserves the right to use excerpts and stills from your film for the promotion and advertising of the actual film festival and the organization's special events. Disclaimer: Every precaution will be exercised in handling entries, but neither the EHFF judges, organizers, employees, sponsors, nor participating organizations assume responsibility for any damage to or loss of materials submitted. Judging: All entries are reviewed by a panel of judges selected by the EHFF. ALL submissions will be viewed and critiqued by the panel from November, 2007 - September, 2008. The finalists will be determined by the EHFF on or around September 5th, 2008. Selected filmmakers will be notified by e-mail of their acceptance into our Festival. Exhibition copies will be requested at that time for screening at our event in October, 2008. We currently accept DVD, VHS and Beta-SP formats for exhibition.
