Hey, wannabe makers of films of horror! Care to try your hand at the Fourth Annual KnowFilmFast Horror Film Competition? Sure you do!

Here’s the deal: You have 66 hours and 6 minutes to make a film that’s 6 minutes and 66 seconds long. Once teams have turned in their films, there’ll be a screening of them at the Know (2026 NE Alberta) on Saturday, October 27. It’s an event that promises “Shits and giggles for all who are not murdered,” so I really can’t see how it can go wrong.

Filming kicks off at midnight tonight. All the info you need is included in the press release, which I’ll post after the jump. Good luck.

THE 4TH ANNUAL KnowFilmFast HORROR FILM COMPETITION (a.k.a. The 666)

How it works:

You grab seven switchblades, four quarts of chocolate syrup, and some of that shit that knocks people out when you put it on a villain's handkerchief. Then, you go out and make a movie in 66 hours and 6 minutes. All movies must be less than 6 minutes and 66 seconds long, and must contain an ominous villain and that character's weapon of choice which will be provided to you by some silly game of chance like blindfolded dart throwing, or bobbing for pumpkins. Filming this year will begin at the strike of Midnight on Thursday, October 18th. Films must be returned by Sunday, October 21st at 6:06:06 pm. Screening the following Saturday, October, 27th at 9PM at The Know. CASH MONEY for the victorious team. And other prizes for the loveable losers. Shits and giggles for all who are not murdered.

How to enter:

Contact me at josh@theknow.info and I'll email you the entry forms and such, or just show up at The Know around 11:30 pm on Thursday, October 18th, and we'll get you set up then. Entry fee is $20.
