TerrorKids is the program of activities for children and family that the Festival organizes since 2015. Its objective is to promote enjoyment of cinema from an early age, enhance creativity and promote social cohesion.

TerrorKids activities are organized on site during the Festival. Since 2021 it also offers online content on its own platform TerrorKidsTV, which families can enjoy from anywhere and at any time.

TerrorKids is included within the transversal objective of the Festival to offer quality audiovisual content for infants, as well as leisure education for different audiences, including children and families.

  • Creative workshop for making a thaumatrope (4 models)

    The thaumatrope, the zootrope’s and pradxinoscope’s precursor, is an optic toy that generates the illusion of a moving image. To make one, you will need: scissors, glue, a stick or a straw. Now you only need to spin the thaumatrope with your hands.

  • Shadow play workshop ( very surrealist! )

    You can enjoy the experience of making your own shadow play theatre. To make the shadows you will need: scissors, glue, a stick or a straw. And if you want to make the theatre, you will only need a white sheet and a lamp. Now you only have to make up a story!

Download the template here

  • Draw and paint our M

    And for the little ones, and not so little, we suggest drawing and painting the image of our Festival, ¡the M! You can use any technique you want: crayons, tempera, markers, stickers, collage, etc. You just have to let your imagination go!

Download them from here


And if you want more horrific fun, here you have Una mazmorra entre todos, an amazing poster by the ilustrator @lauriellemaven that you can print and paint however you want. The only requisite is to not re-upload it to other websites and to not erase the signature, but do not hesitate to add yours!

Don’t forget to share your creations in social networks with the hashtag #TerrorKidsACasa 🙂
