This is Halloween!
COVID-19 is spooky, so people and events throughout the
country have opted for virtual events this Halloween season. Halloween will
definitely look different this year, but what's to stop it from spooking you
virtually?
According to the organization behind the NOLA Horror Film Fest, "There are
just too many variables, too many uncertainties, surrounding COVID-19 to safely
present a physical festival this year. That's why the 10th annual NOLA Horror
Film Fest will bring you an online virtual experience."
Every year, the NOLA Horror Film Fest is held in the Big
Easy in September. And movie and horror enthusiasts can join together to share
the love and appreciate the work of film auteurs.
The film fest is scheduled to go live, virtually—in real
time—this weekend, September 25 - 27, showing you and your best fiends
over 50 different films and 50 different screenplay finalists from around the
world.
Tickets start at $8 and are available for purchasing, whether
you're interested in single-screening tickets, day passes, full-weekend passes,
etc.
Feature films for the weekend include The Unfamiliar, The
Reckoning, Sister Tempest, and Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers.
The notable shorts include Love Bite, Smiley Death Face,
Azrahel, Changling, $trip, Exit, Morbus, Polybius, Cybolica, and more.
There is even a slightly comedic movie called Overkill, which follows
"too-woke-for-their-own-good" college students who are being hunted by a masked
killer. The key to survival is outsmarting the killer.
The film fest folks are sure that you'll miss walking up to
the filmmakers and asking them questions, but don't fret. This year's panel
discussions will all be held on Zoom.
Committed to "celebrating the craft and the art of genre
filmmaking," the NOLA Horror Film Fest will cater to all of your frightful
needs as you and your ghouls take on the weekend.
