48 Hours of Hell: Denton Horror Video Race

48 Hours of Hell is a horror filmmaking race run by Denton's Thin Line Fest. Teams gather at 9 PM on the southside steps of the Denton courthouse, draw a horror sub-genre, a line of dialogue, a prop and a location, and then have 48 hours to write, shoot and edit a 4–8 minute film. Finished films are dropped off in person on a USB drive at the finish line, and about an hour later every film screens in the Big Top Tent downtown as part of Denton's Day of the Dead festival, where winners are named. The 2026 race runs October 21–23. Registration costs $75 per team, any team size, and closes at kickoff.
