Fear Screen

48 hours. No excuses. @andy.winward has done it. He'll tell you it's hard. He'll also tell you it's worth it. If you've ever wanted to make a film but kept waiting for the right time, the right budget, the right everything, this is the challenge that removes all of that. You get 48 hours and you walk away with something real. Fear Screen's 48 Hours Later challenge is open. Register now via the link in bio.

The wait is over… and it’s happening next Friday. The Spring 2026 48 Hours Later Film Challenge is officially OPEN for registration. Yes, we’re a little late but the best things always are. This is our third challenge and the penultimate of the year, and if you’ve seen what came out of the last two, you’ll know exactly what to expect: pure creative chaos, proper filmmaking, and real stakes. You’ll have just 48 hours. One weekend. One shot to create something unforgettable. And here’s the big one… Your film won’t just live online — it will be screened LIVE on the big screen at Roxy Movies Middlesbrough. A real cinema. A real audience. Your work, up there. Registration is open now: /48hourslater Get your team together. Lock it in. Be part of it. Let’s make something special again. 🎬🔥

“As I walked out one May morning” is a common refrain that can be found at the start of several traditional Beltane songs. The iteration used in this post’s title can be found in the folk song fittingly named ‘As I roved out’. Folk culture, being largely localised and often dismissed as a relic of our religious past, means that it is hard to track down quite when certain traditions, such as this song and line, began. Luckily for us, and certainly for the genre of folk horror, Beltane does have a rich history and continues to be celebrated by those either dedicated to the old ways or simply interested in preserving local colour. But what is Beltane? Find out and discover why it’s the beating heart of folk horror over on The Panic Press. 🌿🐂

Friday. The 13th. November. 🖤🕯️ We couldn’t have planned it better if we’d tried. (We absolutely planned it.) Fear Screen’s first ever Awards Night is coming and the universe has aligned in the most delightfully sinister way possible. A mystery venue. A woman in grey who never left. And a date that needs no introduction. Here’s what we know… on Friday 13th November in a building with centuries of secrets, a permanent resident who didn’t rsvp, but she’ll be there regardless. Black tie. No exceptions. Fear Screen’s very first Awards Night. Thirteen has never looked so good. Full venue reveal dropping soon. Where do you think we’ve booked for the most cursed, most glamorous night on Teesside’s horror calendar? 🎟️ Limited seats. Black tie only. You really don’t want to miss this one
