Meet Our Founders

We are Night Frights LA—a horror film festival built by filmmakers, for filmmakers. Founded by the Winchester Bros, our mission is to celebrate bold, original horror and give independent creators the spotlight they deserve.

More than just a festival, Night Frights LA is a community. We bring together genre fans, rising talent, and industry pros for a night of unforgettable horror, from chilling premieres to exclusive networking. This is where the future of horror takes center stage.

Great new festival! Thank you Night Frights LA team for selecting Casting Kill as the Best Horror Comedy in your inaugural year!
Very clear and communicative, and supportive of the filmmakers they select, which isn't always a given with festivals. Excited to try my hot sauce award!
Great festival run by great people!

Thanks for awarding "Bay For Blood' for an Honorable Mention at your festival! The communication was clear and concise and I received everything that I had initially hoped for. I had a very good experience overall and will definitely consider submitting future projects to Night Frights LA.
This was the first festival to accept my film and give it an Honorable Mention! I can’t wait to attend in person next year. The best part was the promptness and communication with the organizers. Professional and courteous. Thank you, FNF! Blessings to you all:)
Hello. Participation in the festival was an interesting experience. I wish you success and development.
