HYSTERIA HALLOWEEN — A night of horror short films benefiting The Heavy Anchor
October 17 : 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Join Hysteria Fest for for a night of independent horror while supporting our friends at The Heavy Anchor!
We’ve finally recuperated from the madness of this summer’s Hysteria Fest, just in time for one of our favorite events of the year: Hysteria Halloween. While plenty of theaters will spend October revisiting the horror classics, we’re mixing things up with a night of horror shorts from hell, celebrating the kind of short-film programming that has always been a huge part of Hysteria Fest.
We’ve put together two completely different programs. At 6 PM, Show Me Horror celebrates horror made close to home, with shorts from filmmakers from or connected to St. Louis and Missouri. Then at 8:15 PM, Halloween Around the World takes us international with some of our favorite horror shorts from filmmakers around the globe.
Hysteria Halloween was already planned for October 17 at Arkadin Cinema & Bar, but following the recent accident at The Heavy Anchor, we’ve turned the night into a fundraiser. The Heavy Anchor has been an incredible supporter of Hysteria Fest and is one of the venues for our summer festival, so we want to return some of that support.
Tickets for each block are sold separately. Be sure to select your preferred showtime at checkout.
100% of ticket proceeds will go directly to The Heavy Anchor.
