FallFest 2025

Creatures and Karma and Ghosts! Oh, My!

Get ready for a night of spine-chilling cinema at the first-ever FallFest! Join us at the historic Vinegar Hill Theatre for a curated selection of five original short films from noted Virginia filmmakers.

We're kicking off Halloween-time with a thrilling showcase of films that dive into the darker side of storytelling. From chilling suspense to unsettling drama, these five shorts are sure to jumpstart your Scare Season.

Here’s the lineup.

• Maggie Campbell (10 min) - A murdered woman's spirit, seeking retribution, confronts her killer when he returns to the scene of his crime.

• Wisteria (15 min) - When three estranged siblings decide to sell their childhood home, an ancient family curse emerges to restore the balance.
• DEAD. (12:55 min) - There’s a thin line between life and death and Marvin Adams is standing right on it.
• The Wychwood Cycle (15 min) - It's dangerous to go to the woods alone.
• The Daddy Daughter Dance (18 min) - A teenager battles her father's alcoholism and her grandfather's ghost.

Don’t miss this chance to celebrate helping area charities while getting into the Halloween spirit. See you there!

Doors open at 6:30pm and the first film starts at 7pm.
