Spooky season is here! Thrills and Chills Film Awards are celebrating Halloween by dedicating a special horror-filled edition of their competition to the occasion. And since the theme of this special edition is Halloween, a category as been created: the Halloween Edition Special Award category
Thrills and Chills is an international online competition which specializes in genre films from all horizons – horror, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy… – and honors the originality and variety of those flicks.
Initiated by a group of movie buffs and filmmakers, its ambition is to shed light on unconventional projects that share the same enthusiasm and passion for those popular genres loved by the audience.
For each edition, our jury deliberates and determines an official selection and awards the best works and performances in all categories. Selections and winners lists are officially published on our media partner website, Indie Wrap, and our social media.
The jury has voted, and here are the winners:
