Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: King of Black Goo (2026)
Andrew Zappin’s King of Black Goo follows Arthur, a man so profoundly lonely he’s practically translucent. He spends his days cataloging the mundane, only to find solace in the promise of a clandestine medical procedure known as the Black Goo treatment. It’s marketed as a personality-reconstruction therapy, a way to liquefy the jagged edges of […]
Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: CFF SALUTES YOUR SHORTS: FUNSIZE EPICS VOL. 1
That Damned Thing (2026): This short by Christopher Lewis is exactly the kind of grim discovery that’ll keep you up. It’s a lean, mean creature-feature procedural that doesn’t bother with grand explanations, focusing instead on the cold, hard reality of an autopsy gone wrong.

CHÄIR (2025): Directed by Chris McInroy, just from the title, you know that you’re in the world of IKEA. Carl is an exhausted, everyday guy just looking for a little bit of comfort.

Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: Dangerous Visions
Season’s Greetings (1996): Before Michael Dougherty became the modern architect of the holiday horror anthology with Trick ‘r Treat, he gave us the short film that started it all: Season’s Greetings.

Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: Salute Your Shorts
Carousel (2025): Directed by Christopher Kosakowski, Carousel takes the classic cursed object story and gives it a grim, carnival-noir coat of paint. It’s the kind of lean, mean and twisted storytelling that hits all the right buttons for those of us who prefer our horror served with a side of greasepaint and existential dread. The […]
Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: Lenore (2026)
This starts by introducing us to Lenore (Ruby Duncan), a high-profile influencer whose brand is built entirely on manufactured outrage and hyper-curated narcissism.

Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: Enduring Destiny (2014) and First Feature (2026)
Enduring Destiny (2014): If you ever wanted to see what happens when the ambition of a film school student collides with the total lack of a budget and a massive amount of hubris, you’ve found it.

Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: Demonetize (2026)
Influencer culture is the new slash-and-burn territory for horror, providing many victims in movies today. It’s the perfect target—vain, desperate, and begging to be offed. Alexander Boyd Watson’s Demonetize takes that premise and runs it through a meat grinder. A washed-up paranormal investigator, Martin (Sean Carrigan), is desperate to reclaim his glory days. He figures […]
