Hi everyone! We just wanted to remind you that our Horror & Politics Virtual Film Festival starts October 21. From then through the election on November 3, we’ll be featuring movies that are either horrifying or about politics. After all, it’s getting hard to tell the difference these days. We’re announcing the movies in advance, along with when they’ll be featured, so you can watch along with us if you’d like. We’ve also announced a “Watch Party” on October 23 featuring the Vincent Price camp classic The House on Haunted Hill. For more information and to sign up for the Watch Party, go here. We’ll also be posting the link to the Watch Party on our Facebook page, so if you have an active Amazon Prime subscription we’d love for you to join us.
