Feminist Fright Fest is an annual horror film festival, taking place in October. Created in 2018, it has since become a major staple of the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity’s fall programming. We seek primarily to explore horror through an intersectional feminist lens and provide a platform for women filmmakers and filmmakers of marginalized genders. Please like and follow our Facebook page to keep up-to-date. See our fourth annual Feminist Fright Fest program and collaborative zine project below!
