WildClaw Theatre Company is proud to announce the submission window for our upcoming DEATHSCRIBE 2016, the NINTH Annual International Festival of Radio Horror Plays. Submissions will be accepted starting MAY 1st and will close JULY 31st. This festival is open to all, and there is no fee for submission.
DEATHSCRIBE is a one-night-only extravaganza of original short radio plays, written by horror enthusiasts from around the globe, produced by some of Chicago’s finest actors, directors, musicians, sound effects artists, and special guest stars, plus a celebrity panel to judge the best of the fest! Shape your fear into a 10-minute radio play complete with LIVE FOLEY and send it to WildClaw Theatre starting MAY 1st! Five finalists will be selected, and their scripts performed live on Monday, December 5th 2016. The author of the best of the festival will be awarded the coveted Bloody Axe award and a $100 cash prize.
WildClaw is looking for 10-minute radio scripts that are genuinely scary, imaginative, chilling, intelligent, suspenseful, horrific, or downright grotesque. There are no restrictions as to content or tone, but keep in mind that WildClaw is a Horror Theatre. They take horror seriously, and so should you. WildClaw wants stories about serial killers, insects, distorted squirrels, cannibals, deep ones, plagues, demonic possessions, dogfish howlers, werewolves, vampires, zombies, aliens, and of course, the monster within.
