New for 2025 is the Monologue Competition where actors can showcase their talents in front of screenwriters, filmmakers and other industry professionals. Festival co-owner Johnny K. Wu says, "It's always a thrill to see participants hone their craft, learn the latest techniques and work toward becoming the next big thing from their exposure at the Festival."
The International Horror Hotel Film Festival and Convention first launched in June 2011 by Festival Co-Founders Ray Szuch and Kristina Michelle. The tradition has been continued, and expanded, by the ownership team of Johnny K. Wu, Scott E. Brosius, Scott T. Morrison, Tina Hobbs, Gaines Strouse and Pauline Nowakowski who took over in 2024.
