About The 2004 Eerie Horror Film Festival

Overlooked, underrated, and misunderstood, independent horror movies have been ignored and shunned by the mainstream film industry since it began more than a century ago. Through the decades, these films have entertained and thrilled audiences around the world and continue to grow in popularity to this very day. There is an incredible amount of talent in this field that goes unnoticed an unappreciated, and we are proud to announce that the Great Lakes Film Association hopes to reverse that trend.

With the call for entries for the 2004 Great Lakes Independent Film Festival, we expanded our categories to accept science-fiction and horror movies. Unlike many other film festivals, we felt that we were over looking a very popular and important genre. For many filmmakers, sci-fi and horror films are among the first projects that they produce. For the independent film community these films are often stepping-stones and several are high quality productions, worthy of placement at almost any film festival.

When we expanded our call for entries to include sci-fi and horror films, we got such a great response that it was an easy decision to create a special Festival just to showcase these films.

The EERIE HORROR FILM FESTIVAL was established in order to give filmmakers and writers in the horror /sci-fi genres a venue to have their work showcased to people in the industry.

The EERIE HORROR FILM FESTIVAL will take place every fall in the great city of Erie, PA. at the Road House Theatre. Centrally located, Erie is only a short drive from the cities of Cleveland, OH, Buffalo, NY, and Pittsburgh, PA.

The 2004 EERIE HORROR FILM FESTIVAL will be held October 8th, 9th & 10th, 2004.
