The MOTOR CITY NIGHTMARES INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (MCNIFF) was created to showcase and celebrate the latest and greatest contributions of independent Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Thriller films from around the world! We help filmmakers and screenwriters get the exposure and recognition they deserve!
MCNIFF is focused on bridging the gaps between filmmakers, fans, and financing. Since our film festival is part of our horror convention, we offer filmmakers the unique chance to hang with the horror icons, party with the fans, and network with distribution representatives and financiers.
We accept a wide variety of films and you may enter your film in multiple categories. We are expanding the number screenings this year to accommodate more films.

As a horror fanatic, I‘m obsessed with how color is used to unsettle, frighten, and disturb us. The strategic use of color is a key part of horror‘s dark art. It taps into our psyche, channels primal emotions, and imbues scenes with deeper meaning. In this post, let‘s peel back the layers on horror color symbolism. What various colors represent, how they make us feel, and why horror directors leverage them so thoughtfully. I‘ll highlight color examples from iconic films and unpack some fascinating psychological research. By the end, you‘ll see color in horror through a whole new lens!
