The Horror Shorts Film Fest is an event presented by Foundry Theater, dedicated to showcasing short horror films. This festival provides a platform for horror-related genre shorts and offers laurels to selected films, with award winners also receiving additional recognition and submission opportunities to other festivals, such as the Appalachian Film Festival. Additionally, short films are a significant component of other established horror film festivals, including the annual South African HORRORFEST, which screens dozens of international short films, and HorrorFest International in St. George, Utah, which features both short and feature independent horror films from around the globe.
