Hollywood Horrorfest, the home of the Price Award, has announced that it has to postpone all its screenings and live events until next year. That means the coveted Price Award, created in honor of Vincent Price and presented by his daughter Victoria Price, will also be postponed until August 2021. Previous award recipients include horror icons Sid Haig, Cassandra Peterson (aka Elvira), and Joe Dante.
Festival founder, Miles Flanagan states, “It’s so disappointing to everyone involved, but all live events are suffering the same fate.” The festival had considered outdoor screenings but, as Flanagan explained, “We need to be able to screen at least 12 hours a day, so obviously outdoors wasn’t going to work.”
The festival is still committed to judging all the 2020 entries and will announce winners online. Plus officially selected 2020 films will be screened at the next festival.
Finalists announced July 27th 2020.
Winners announced August 8th 2020.
This Year’s Official Selections/Winners screened Aug 2021.
