What does 'terror' mean to you?
RATFest hopes to examine this question by featuring a diverse offering of exciting works showing the many different versions of terror that exist in our world. Works of any genre are welcome.
RATFest 3.0 is bigger than ever, with an IN-PERSON SCREENING EVENT at Chicago's historic New 400 Theater! Beginning April 15, selected works will screen with in-person audiences invited to vote for the awards! Digital screenings will follow with some titles available through 4/22.
Additional programming includes interviews with the cast and team of selected projects, trailer showcases, and more to be announced.
RATFest launched in April 2020 in response to the pandemic, streaming 21 productions over a period of 9 days. Due to popular demand, a second festival followed with a more-distinct horror theme, screening 19 titles throughout the month and featuring the world premiere of Scary Stories: Dark Web, co-written by Marvel's Crystal Skillman and featuring a cameo from Tony Todd.
The Random Acts of Terror Festival returns in early 2023, now with audience awards! All titles are automatically eligible upon acceptance, and will receive laurels for the IMDb-qualifying fest. We hope that the success of Volume 3 allows us to hold an in-person event for our next presentation.
