The Annual GuignolFest 72-Hour Horror Film Contest celebrates its 14th YEAR!

Portland’s original 72-Hour film contest rises from the ground like a hungry zombie to see who will join it in making Portland scared! Movie makers ranging from beginner to expert, challenge themselves and their craft to write, direct, film, and edit their 6:66 minute movie in under 72 hours.

Founder, Dylan Hillerman and his wife Julia Reodica, produce GuignolFest in presenting new and veteran film makers, actors, and creatives from the horror community for the contest and screening.

GuignolFest has become its own Halloween tradition that actors, crew, and audiences look forward to, to share the magic that had been brewing in each of them all year. What are you afraid of? Come and be one of us! One of us!

The competition is divided into two categories:
GHOUL CATEGORY – Teams competing less than 3 years
LEGACY CATEGORY – Teams competing 3+ years or have previously placed in top 3 movies from the Ghoul Category
