About this Event

Horror is often a genre about running away from secrets, but the secrets always find you! And when they do, it's probably too late!


Join us for a night of Oklahoma-based filmmaking at the Center for Public Secrets, where this intimate, 18+ event will be sure to have your bones rattling and your teeth chattering.


Featuring the following short films:

  • "I'm Taking You Home" by Zach Litwack
  • "Nemesis" by Dylan Cole Black
  • "Go Down Diller" by Andrew Bateman (based on the story by OK-based writer Eric Howerton)
  • "Crooked Face" by Cary Cody
  • "Ultraviolet" by Justin Jayne


After the screening, filmmakers and audience members will openly discuss "Why horror, Why now?" in an attempt to answer why horror as a genre is so explosive and prevalent in culture today. Why do we rush toward the fear-inducing and the grotesque, and what do our entertainment habits reveal about the world we live in?
