This is a tribute to a large illuminated sign which says "Show" and sits outside of the Sheridan Opera House, the festival venue where the Silver Medallions are awarded. After serving guest director in 2001, Salman Rushdie wrote that, "It is extraordinarily exciting, in this age of the triumph of capitalism, to discover an event dedicated not to commerce but to love". Kenneth Turan, film critic of the "Los Angeles Times", wrote in 2002 that "the hothouse filmocentric universe Telluride creates over a Labor Day weekend has always been more a religion than anything as ordinary as a festival, complete with messianic believers and agnostic scoffers." Jeffrey Ruoff, a film historian at Dartmouth College, noted in 2015 that "Early buzz at Telluride opens the fall season of North American award speculation that climaxes with the Oscars."

The Telluride Horror Show is a film festival that takes place in the mountain resort town of Telluride, Colorado. Over a three day weekend each mid-October, the festival exhibits horror, dark fantasy films, sci-fi films, and thriller films from around the world and attendees from all over the United States.
Telluride Horror Show | Introduction
The festival was started in 1974 by Bill and Stella Pence, Tom Luddy, and James Card of Eastman-Kodak Film Preserve. It is operated by the National Film Preserve. In 2007 the Pences retired. Julie Huntsinger and Gary Meyer were hired to run the festival with Tom Luddy. Huntsinger is Executive Director. In 2010, Telluride Film festival partnered with UCLA TFT. This partnership created FilmLab which was a program that focuses on the art and industry of filmmaking. This program is custom-designed for ten selected filmmaker graduates from UCLA. The partnership was further extended in 2012, the two partners created a mutually curated film program on UCLA's Westwood campus.
Telluride Film Festival | History
Founded in 2010, the Telluride Horror Show is Colorado's first and longest-running genre film festival. Films are shown in three theaters: the Palm, the Nugget Theater, and the historic Sheridan Opera House. Additional events include the Creepy Campfire Tales and book signing with an established author from the horror genre, the Pig Roast, the I Scream Social, the Killer Karaoke Party, and the Dread Central Horror Trivia competition.
Telluride Horror Show | History
The bulk of the program is made up of new films, and there is an informal tradition that new films must be shown for the first time in North America to be eligible for the festival. Telluride is well-situated on the international film festival calendar for this: after the Cannes Film Festival, but just before the Toronto International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. This insistence on premieres has led to Telluride's being associated with the discovery of a number of important new films and filmmakers. This is especially true of Michael Moore (whose first film "Roger and Me" showed there for the first time in 1989) and Robert Rodriguez (whose first feature "El Mariachi" got its first festival screening there in 1992).
Telluride Film Festival | Program
The Guest Director position is held by a different individual each year who is invited by the Telluride Film Festival Directors to join them in the creation of the festival program. The guest director serves as a key collaborator in all of the festival's programming decisions, bringing new ideas and, quite often, overlooked films to Telluride. Below is a list of each guest director followed by the films the director specifically chose to highlight.

It's a destination festival in the middle of an ocean. It is similar to the Telluride Film Festival in this sense; Telluride is located in a tiny village in Colorado. Attendees travel through mountains if they wish to see the films. However, Maui Film Festival only mimics the early years of Telluride in the 1980s and 1990s when it was intimate and inexpensive. Now, it is a global festival; the tiny village has transformed into a posh resort; the ticket prices have sky-rocketed; it has commercialized as a result of its growth in size. Only time will tell if the Maui Film Festival will have the same fate.

Henderson recalls "There were no red carpets and no television cameras out front. We did a ribbon cutting with Dick Lamm (then governor). When we got inside it was a full house at the Old Centre theater, which was demolished before the next year's festival. (The Centre sat 1,200.). "Most notably, the weather was ominous - cloudy and cool. The opening-night party was at a private house and it was an invitational affair. When we got there, a cold rain was falling. We woke up the next morning, and there was a foot of wet snow on the ground, but it was springtime and by the end of the day, it was beautiful.

While entries from established filmmakers are usually considered pluses by the organizers, most festivals require new or relatively unknown filmmakers to pay an entry fee to have their works considered for screening. This is especially so in larger film festivals, such as the Cannes Film Festival, Jaipur International Film Festival in Jaipur India, Toronto International Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, South by Southwest, Montreal World Film Festival, and even smaller "boutique" festivals such as the Miami International Film Festival, British Urban Film Festival in London and Mumbai Women's International Film Festival in India. On the other hand, some festivals—usually those accepting fewer films, and perhaps not attracting as many "big names" in their audiences as do Sundance and Telluride—require no entry fee.

Lito Tejada-Flores, after screening his adventure and mountaineering film "Fitzroy" at the Trento festival in Italy, and Bill Kees, a local climber and avid outdoorsman, inaugurated the event.

During the daytime, audience members took to the mountains for adventure themselves. The first festivals attracted leading names in mountaineering and exploration: Royal Robbins, Yvon Chouinard, David Breashears and others.

The town of Telluride had for many years held a Fourth of July Celebration which had its roots in the early mining days of Telluride, when miners would come from down from the mountains to party and meet up with old friends and meet some women. The celebration included a fireworks display operated by the local fire department. In 1972, the Telluride Ski Resort opened, and the Town of Telluride expanded the Celebration and advertised it widely in all the surrounding states. Among the new attendees were many who behaved badly, starting fights and causing damage; in response, the Town decided to call off the celebration for 1973.
