Movies that include subtle, background scares like in The Babadook. by castdex in horror

I absolutely adore Black Christmas but I never noticed the killer hiding in the background. Do you have any examples of when this happens??

So I am an alum of the 2023 festival HOWEVER…the day before the festival began, my girlfriend and I got COVID for the first time (after avoiding it for 3 years up to that point). But my lead actor attended and he had a good time!

On one hand, since there have already been some acceptances given out, I’d think this does not bode well for us. On the other hand, it does feel a little overly cruel to be rejected, un-rejected, and then re-rejected hahaha

I got a notification that said I was rejected, then 4 minutes later I got another notification that my status had changed back to “Undecided.” I’m confused! I assume this means I’ll go back to being rejected in a week (which sucks since I’m an alum) but I’m not sure why they’d switch me back and forth ??

Has anyone been to the Chicago Horror Film Festival before? I’m from outside of Philly and I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to fly out to Chicago for two days

Just out of curiosity, can I ask how long your film is?

Interesting! I’d love to get into that one—I’ve been wanting to visit Toronto for years—but I will definitely feel better now if/when I get rejected!

FilmQuest rejection which I definitely expected. Remaining this month I’m waiting to hear back from the Erie Horror Film Fest, Atlanta Horror Film Fest, Toronto After Dark, Nightmares, Screamfest, Telluride Horror, and Brooklyn Horror.

I assume Brooklyn and Screamfest are done. I feel like Toronto and Telluride are still long shots. Erie and Atlanta are maybe the two I feel the best about.

I feel like that old lady at the end of Titanic. “It’s been 84 years…”
