The Mile High Horror Film Festival is a film festival, which takes place in the Denver metro area of Colorado. The festival showcases the best horror, thriller, and sci-fi films from around the world, while hosting top celebrities, artists, and filmmakers from the horror genre.
The Mile High Horror Film Festival was founded in 2010 and is the oldest running genre film festival in Denver, Colorado.
It is recognized as one of the 'Top 5 Coolest Horror/Sci-Fi Film Festivals in the World' by MovieMaker Magazine.
In 2015, it hosted over 90 films from several different countries.
The festival was founded by Timothy Schultz and Theresa Likarish. Both avid genre film fans, they regularly attended film festivals across the US before deciding to create the Mile High Horror Film Festival. They wanted to create a festival that didn't exist in Colorado, which they themselves would like to attend. Schultz is a filmmaker himself and gained inspiration from having his own films played around the world in festivals prior to starting this festival.
In 2013, the festival launched a compilation of short horror films titled, the Mile High Horror Shorts package, which is available on demand and in select cable networks.
The Mile High Horror Film Festival has multiple prizes for films, screenplays, and music videos. Prizes include custom built trophies along with publicity and prizes awarded by the festival's sponsors.
