About this Event
Super Scary Shorts Show
Join Good Candy Films as we present a lineup of delectably diabolical independent short films at Super Scary Shorts Show. Following the success of our inaugural mixed genre shorts program in August, this event will highlight the macabre, the wicked, and the slightly off-kilter in a celebration of the Spooky Season.
Tickets are $15.00 and include all films and the Q&A. The program will screen roughly 90 minutes of independent short films, and will be followed by a Q&A with various members of the cast & crew.
