The Creepy Van Films – Macabro FICH 2025–2026 Feature Film Screenplay Competition is a Mexican call focused on the development of feature-length screenplays within the horror genre, including fantasy and science fiction. It is aimed at screenwriters with original projects in development.
The call is open to Mexican nationals and foreign residents who can prove at least two years of legal residence in Mexico, meaning it does not accept unrestricted international submissions. The only format accepted is a feature film screenplay, with an estimated running time of 80 to 120 minutes.
The competition includes a professional pitching and evaluation process, with final results announced during the Macabro International Horror Film Festival (FICH) 2026, taking place from August 13 to August 23, 2026.
