What Filmmakers Say

Testimonials

The festival has a long tradition of supporting filmmakers and their art. Here is just a few testimonials we’ve collected over the years.

"Highly recommend this festival! Great communication throughout the entire process. They really have a unique festival and care about the filmmakers and their films. This is definitely one you should enter."

"Freak Show Horror Film Festival was such a cool experience. The organizers are top notch on communication. They have a short list of films in the festival, so your movie doesn't get lost amongst a sea of other titles. Thanks to the judges for picking our feature The Parker Sessions for Best Feature and Best Actress in 2021. Their trophies are killer too! One of my favorites from the festival circuit. I can't wait to submit future projects to this wonderful festival.!"

"'I've just been to this film festival for the second time and I can say with full confidence that it's one of the best festivals I've attended. Robert Massetti is an incredible festival director with strong communication and a clear passion for what it is he's putting together. The festival itself, particularly in this last run, has had the strongest consistency in terms of quality films. Epic Theaters makes for a great location to screen films, boasting comfortable seats, gigantic screens, and a booming sound system. Overall, the festival is just a top experience and highly recommended for any horror filmmakers.!"

"Fantastic time at the Freak Show! The organizers were communicative, there for information, positive and upbeat. The venue was state of the art. The projection and surround sound were awesome. Really highlights the hard work put into your visuals and sound mix. Venue was located close to all fest venues. All within walking distance. We were also able to get over to Universal Studios for a day before the fest began. Definitely heading back with our next horror project! Kudos to the freaks at The Freak Show!"
