The Telluride Horror Show would like to thank its sponsors: Alpine Lodging Telluride, Bloody Disgusting, Rocket House Pictures, Denver Film Society, Colorado Film Commission, Shudder, Harper Collins Publishers, Baked in Telluride, Boston Light & Sound, AC Camera, Sheridan Opera House, Nugget Theatre, Open Road Snacks and Film Freeway.

Official 2016 Poster & T-Shirts available for purchase. One of great traditions of the Telluride Horror Show is the unveiling of the festival’s annual poster art.

“Each year, we take an iconic landmark in Telluride and give it a horror twist, bringing a splash of terror to the town. This year is no different as artist Mark Zingarelli has once again brought his magic to the festival and crafted an air of witchiness for the clock tower of the San Miguel Courthouse,” said Ted Wilson, event founder.
