We are living in a new world, reflected in our new 2021 poster.  The Idaho Horror is working diligently to bring a new digital experience that will provide festival goers with a user-friendly platform. We hope to welcome the new year with a full slate of films that will be judged by you, our audience. Please stay tuned for details.
