The Terror on the Plains Horror Film Festival is an annual event established in 2012 to showcase short horror films, initially by Kansas City filmmakers, and later expanding to include international submissions. The festival combines a short film competition with screenings of classic Hollywood thrillers, live music, vendors, and food trucks. Typically held at the Boulevard Drive-In in Kansas City, Kansas, the festival features categories such as Best Horror Film, Best International Film, and Best Local Filmmaker.
