Phantasmagoria is an annual, juried film festival held on the campus of The University of Toledo. Most submitted works are of the Science-Fiction/Fantasy or Horror genres, though other works are considered as well. Each year features competition in two categories: a movie trailer competition, and a short feature competition. Read more about the upcoming 2008 festival.

History

Phantasmagoria was founded in 2007 by a race of extra-dimensional aliens*. The aliens felt that Toledo, Ohio needed a film festival to call its own. So, they made contact with the University of Toledo's gaming club and used the group's annual gaming convention, BASHCon, as a foundation for the Phantasmagoria Film Festival**. It was a huge success***. It annihilated expectations. With a death ray. Of results.

Jeez. So now what?

In 2008, the aliens (and Phantasmagoria) are coming back. The goal: strengthen their foothold in the film festival market, by allying themselves with zombies from the center of the Earth****! Experience the thrills! Get the Chills! Make this year's BASHCon an extra-dimensional experience!
