ABOUT:
Presented by Laredo Film Society, Fronterror Film Fest is an annual horror festival in Laredo, Texas, celebrating the emerging filmmakers transforming the Texas–Mexico borderlands into one of horror's most exciting new frontiers!
2026 THEME:
Create a slasher short inspired by 70s, 80s, or 90s slashers!
But… why slashers?
Slashers have fallen out of popularity for several good reasons: outdated tropes and stereotypes, racism, transphobia, and misogyny.
So yeah, it's time to reinvent this horror genre with more subversive storytelling -- but also fulfilling the promise of the premise! Because there's a lot to love about slashers that's in line with the values of LFS, like inventive practical special effects, thrilling cinematography, and most especially, indie/low-budget/DIY filmmaking. It's time for a more modern, inclusive, border-based crop of filmmakers to put their own spin on the slasher genre.
