The Face of Horror competition brings together thousands of scary movie aficianados to compete for $13,000, and a horrifying photoshoot experience with actor, Kane Hodder, while raising awareness for a great cause.
“The darkness captivates me because it can be chilling, thrilling, and even strangely beautiful.”
Elvia's mother introduced her to horror at a young age, sparking fond memories of laughing together through some of the most terrifying movies ever made. Since creating home horror movies with her siblings as a child, Elvia has dreamed of becoming a director.
Kane Hodder is an American author, stuntman, and actor best known for his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th franchise. Hodder has some of the most die-hard fans in the genre. During the competition, participants enjoy exclusive interviews with the horror icon, and one lucky champion joins the legend for a chilling photoshoot.
The go-to publication for horror fans unravels classic films and gripping interviews. Each year, the Face of Horror Champion stars in an exclusive photshoot with Kane Hodder, to be featured in Rue Morgue.
Stephen King once said, "We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones." While we enjoy fictional scares, real-life horrors, like hospitalization, can be terrifying. Thanks to organizations like Starlight Children's Foundation, hospitals don't have to be so scary. Face of Horror proudly supports Starlight Children's Foundation, which aims to deliver happiness to seriously ill kids and their families through virtual reality experiences, fun hospital wear, and games.
