Red seems to be such a classic horror colour, it seems only red to be fitting for such an event. Old English typefaces and distroyed/bloodsplat effects throughout add to the classic horror film style. The transformation of the Statue of Liberty, horrifying it, works really well to link horror with NYC. 

Further blood splats are added to the festival photographs, this just adds to the whole theme of horror.

NYCHFF also present awards to film makers, actors, and other categories, this is another area i can design in my horror film festival.

This is the submission form to enter the festival, as you can see its not so easy on the eyes, i think there is room for a more well designed submission form for my festival.
