One of my favorite showcases of the year now has a date! Definitely looking forward to it! - Janette/PossumCoffee
Los Angeles, USA - September 24, 2024 — The Indie Horror Showcase returns in 2025 for its third annual installment. A chilling initiative from horror maestros DreadXP, in partnership with The Media Indie Exchange, the showcase is a celebration of the seemingly endless creativity, passion, and ideas that consistently extend the boundaries of the world's most imaginative and self-reflecting genre in entertainment. Having wrapped up submissions just late last week, the teams involved are ready to announce that the Indie Horror Showcase is premiering on October 23rd at 10 am PDT.
The 2025 edition of The Indie Horror Showcase sees the return of beloved content creator John Wolfe as host, who is now joined by BigGaming64, a long-time champion of all things Dread. Year over year, the team continues to receive a great amount of submissions for the show, proving that despite the overwhelming amount of dead and undead that's usually present in these titles, horror is more alive than it has ever been. Some of the participating developers and publishers that viewers can look forward to include Neon Doctrine, Outersloth, Nightdive Studios, Atari, AMC Games, Blumhouse Games, Yacht Club Games, and more!
The showcase has seen successful growth over the last two installments, with last year's show including over 70 trailers and announcements with an estimated live viewership of over 60,000, and highlighted the reveals of games like White Knuckle, Monster DNA, and Please Insert Disc; the release dates for games such as Nightmare House, Out of Hands, and Among Ashes; plus brand new trailers for The Thing: Remastered, Bye Sweet Carole, and darkwebSTREAMER. The team is proud to have created a space that elevates a wide selection of open-submission work from developers of all sizes in the indie horror space, while also curating and putting special emphasis on premiering new and updated trailers for everyone watching. By partnering with The MIX once again, DreadXP is working to maximize reach for all the titles that will be showcased this year and will be pursuing additional co-streaming opportunities to further boost visibility.
Please note that any games or trailers that included Generative AI of any kind were not considered eligible for the showcase. Any titles that will premiere in the event are 100% made by human hands and twisted minds.
