I'm not sure if I've heard of Slamdance before. Congrats to the winners.

Thanks for commenting.

Slamdance is a film festival established in 1995 as an alternative to the Sundance Film Festival.

Some of the better-known films coming out of Slamdance include Memento, Monster's Ball, and Napolean Dynamite.

Though the festival is well-established, the horror writing competition was new this year.

The winning titles do sound horror related, especially the "Flesh Eating Maggots". Ouch. It's always good to see writers get a break.
