Jacksonville Horror Festival

Welcome to the Jacksonville Horror Festival, a bold new celebration of terror, talent, and storytelling. Founded by Bloodscribe Creations, our mission is to spotlight the very best in horror from around the world—whether it's bone-chilling shorts, character-driven features, or grindhouse throwbacks dripping in blood and style. We’re building a prestigious event right here in Florida. With a sharp eye for originality and an unapologetic love for all things eerie, we aim to give filmmakers a platform to scare, shock, and inspire. Join us as we unleash nightmares, crown new voices in horror, and make Jacksonville a destination for genre lovers everywhere.
