Screamfest LA Awards Wrap-upOn Sunday, October 25th, the ninth annual Screamfest Horror Film Festival Awards were held at Level 3 at the Hollywood & Highland Complex in Hollywood. Hosted by Dread Central’s own Sean Decker (who swiftly moved the awards ceremony along to the tune of 17 minutes), the evening celebrated ten days of original horror films that honored everything from the sensational (The Human Centipede) to the revelatory (Before The Fall) to the otherworldly (The Fourth Kind).

Screamfest, which is spearheaded by founder and director Rachel Belofsky, has built quite a reputation over the last several years as the festival to watch in terms of discovering great filmmaking in the horror genre. Recent Screamfest films that have garnered a lot of attention include Let the Right One In, Hatchet, Trick r Treat, Splinter, Martyrs, The Signal, and Paranormal Activity, which is now enjoying a wide release and taking the horror community by storm.

Below is a full list of the evening’s winners as well as some pictures from the evening’s festivities.
