Now in its third season, the Los Angeles Crime and Horror Film Festival is now accepting submissions of feature films, short films, and documentaries in the crime and horror subgenres.

From heist movies and mobsters to slashers and the undead, crime and horror has been a staple of film throughout the history of the medium.

Today, independent films in these genres continue to be excellent ways for up and coming filmmakers to hone and demonstrate their mastery of the craft.

With screenings in the heart of Hollywood, the Los Angeles Crime and Horror Film Festival aims to spotlight the best of original independent crime and horror films.
