It’s time for Hysteria Halloween featuring a wild array of shorts and a terrifying new feature!

THE REBRAND (dir. Kaye Adelaide)
Nicole, an eight-months-pregnant bisexual videographer struggling financially, is hired by a lesbian influencer couple—Thistle and Blair—to shoot a documentary marking their “comeback” after they were cancelled

Shorts Block:
This block is all over the place in the best way possible. Some of the shorts will disturb you, some will get under your skin, and some are so ridiculous you’ll find yourself laughing in the dark. A few of these have already been making the rounds at big festivals across the country. A couple are showing in the U.S. for the very first time. And a handful just premiered at Fantasia Fest last month, meaning Hysteria is only their second stop, and you’re catching them at the very start of their run. It’s a mix of early discoveries, buzzed-about gems, and pure Halloween chaos — exactly the kind of unpredictable rollercoaster a shorts block should be.
