A Night of Horror at Sydney's Canadian Film Festival

Australia's leading horror film festival presents Canada's most terrifying short films!

A Night of Horror is proud to present a bonechilling line-up of Canada's best and bloodiest short horror horror films, screening as part of Possible Worlds: Sydney's Canadian Film Festival. The program features a cornucopia of bloodcurdling Australian premieres including The Demonology of Desire, the breathtaking chiller from Rodrigo Gudino (founder of Rue Morgue, the world's best horror magazine). If you're an animation addict you'll tremble in demented delight at Marc Lougee's haunting adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum, produced by legendary stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen.

Other highlights include Les Drujes, a stylish vampire offering from Montreal mistress of the macabre Izabel Grondin, and Sebastian and Alan, the disturbing road movie from Manitoban auteur Adam Brooks. But the programs goriest flick is also its funniest: Colin Decker's sidesplitting horror comedy Mime Massacre. Hate mimes? You'll love this!

Whatever your taste in horror, your appetite will be fully satiated with this blood-soaked cinematic buffet served up in unique Canuck style!

You can see the night's full line up by clicking here, or head on over to the Possible Worlds site at http://www.possibleworlds.net.au for more details.

All ticket holders to this special event are invited to attend The Zombie Ball at the Chauvel Cinema, immediately following the screening (around 10pm). The drinks and nibbles are on us all night! Our ghoulish DJ will be spinning scary tunes and there will be prizes for best costumes (including bucket loads of Masters of Horror DVDs courtesy of Starz Home Entertainment). Or come as you are for a free session with our make-up artist!

Please note this event is strictly 18+
