Just in time for peak horror film season, the Port of Fear Film Festival’s 5 Minute Horrors student challenge is set to kick off Friday Oct. 18, at Backyard Dream Productions.
The event challenges students to break off into their own teams and create their own horror, science fiction, fantasy or thriller films, in only 48 hours.

Food and beverages are provided at the kickoff event, and parents and teachers are welcome to attend.
