I know, I know. Competitions are this. And that. Yada, yada, yada. 👻

With a lot of us fine tuning horror scripts this time of year, curious what some of the better comps are for horror features? Whether it be film festivals or online.

Looking to prep out a plan for 2027 and what to target (as part of a broader approach).
