Get ready for a screaming good time... the terrifying fun of SLAY—our scary short film fest made by horror lovers like YOU—is showing LIVE AND IN-PERSON THIS WEEKEND October 29 & 30, and is also streaming online Oct 29-31!

Earlier this year, we asked filmmakers to send in their homemade short horror films (eight minutes or less) capturing whatever it is that scares them most—from classic ghost stories and slasher films to dystopian cults and political nightmares. AND BOY, DID YOU DELIVER! For the 2021 version of SLAY we have 18 frightening, freaky, and fun films that are guaranteed to scare the poop directly into your pants!

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE for the LIVE and in-person screenings at Clinton Street Theater on Friday, October 29 and Saturday, October 30, and if you'd rather stay home and watch it online, you can do just that on October 29-31. GET LIVESTREAM TICKETS HERE!
