Horror movies have always enjoyed a devoted audience. This year, we’re celebrating female filmmakers in the genre with seven blood-chilling, women-made short films. This selection showcases a wide range of styles: expect these films to unsettle, tickle, frighten, upset, surprise, and confound you. Wherever each makes you tingle — be it the back of your neck, your gut, or your gums — you’re going to feel them! We’re going to have a great talkback with attending filmmakers afterwards, moderated by local talent Kt Baldassaro (writer and co-director of the absolutely unforgettable Girl in the Basement), during which all of your gnawing questions will be answered. This screening will include the films (not necessarily in this order):

Are You Alone in the House, directed by Lindsey DeLand *
Bloodercream, directed by Elise Valderrama
Don’t Fall From Grace, directed by Carley Byers **
Have a Good Day, directed by Lisa Soper ***
