About the festival

Created in 2007, the Killer Valley Horror Film Festival (KVHFF) was born of a love of classic horror movies and for independent, underground films.

In 2018 the Killer Valley team started a second genre film festival, the Killer Valley Comedy Film Festival, celebrating original, underground comedy producers. 

Our festival fans and the filmmakers alike seem to have so much fun with these films, that each live event is bustling with action and becomes a great networking experience.

We invite you to either submit your film (horror or comedy), or check our schedule to join us for the next upcoming film festival.

This is the kind of small, homegrown, labor of love festival I go out of my way to attend. Intimate and bloody and silly and beer-soaked, it's a fun and ridiculous evening shared with like-minded horror nerds, and the films themselves were impressive. Thanks to Ross and Randy for having me, and you can bet I'll be back!
