Horror remains one of cinema's most inventive, subversive, and enduring forms. This October, explore a carefully curated selection of the genre's greatest achievements on the big screen.
Our SHOCKTOBER Horror Film Festival celebrates the full spectrum of the genre from groundbreaking classics and international cinema to cult favorites, overlooked gems, psychological nightmares, dark fantasies, and films that simply know how to scare the hell out of you. We believe horror deserves to be taken seriously as an art form while never losing its sense of fun.
And horror is better together. There is nothing quite like experiencing a great horror film on a big screen with an audience, where screams become laughter, shocks become shared experiences, and even the most disturbing moments become part of a memorable night out. SHOCKTOBER is an invitation to explore, discover, scream, laugh, and celebrate the strange and endlessly creative world of horror cinema.
