HYSTERIA FEST: CABIN FEVER (Cannibal Mukbang + Slumber Party Massacre II)
February 7 : 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Hysteria Fest returns in the heart of winter with CABIN FEVER, a full horror festival experience packed into a single evening. The night features two cult hit feature films, opening short films to kick things off, and a live Q&A with the director of Cannibal Mukbang. From modern internet-era obsession to neon-soaked ’80s slasher surrealism, Cabin Fever celebrates horror at its strangest, funniest, and most fearless.
CANNIBAL MUKBANG
Directed by Aimee Kuge
A darkly funny and unsettling horror-romance rooted in online culture, CANNIBAL MUKBANG follows Mark, a lonely young man who falls for Ash, a charismatic woman who makes her living livestreaming mukbang videos — performances centered around eating massive amounts of food for an online audience. As their relationship deepens, Mark begins to realize that Ash’s appetite goes far beyond food. Blending romance, cannibal horror, and sharp social commentary, CANNIBAL MUKBANG explores intimacy, consumption, and the quiet horrors of being truly seen online. Both disturbing and strangely tender, the film has become a standout on the genre festival circuit for its originality and confidence.
Following the screening: a live Q&A with director Aimee Kuge.
SLUMPER PARTY MASSACRE II
Directed by Deborah Brock
One of the strangest and most beloved slasher sequels of the 1980s, SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II fully embraces dream logic, pop-metal absurdity, and cult energy. Survivor Courtney Bates is haunted by trauma-fueled visions that manifest as a leather-clad rockabilly killer wielding a guitar-drill hybrid. Part slasher, part music video, part surreal nightmare, the film has earned its cult reputation through sheer audacity. No prior knowledge of the first film is required — Part II stands entirely on its own as a bold, bizarre, and unforgettable entry in ’80s horror.
The Night Includes:
- A complete horror festival experience in one evening
- Opening short films
- Two feature presentations
- A live filmmaker Q&A
