For over 15 years, A Night of Horror International Film Festival, has screened and championed the best and bloodiest genre films from around the world. This year, it moves from Sydney, Australia to the USA. Its 16th edition will see the screens of Micon Downtown Cinema, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, run red with blood. And it's this weekend: March 1-3, 2024!

“When we made It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This, we knew that it was going to be a weird movie,” writes filmmaking team Rachel Kempf & Nick Toti. “Was it a horror film? Was it a documentary? Was our approach too experimental? Would anyone care about this uncomfortably personal, odd little movie from two unknown filmmakers in rural Missouri? Thankfully, the fearless programmers at A Night of Horror have been beyond enthusiastic in their support for our movie, and we're honored to be involved with such a terrific festival.”

Kempf and Toti will introduce their compelling documentary-come-found-footage horror feature when it screens Friday, March 1, at 10pm. The duo join dozens of other filmmakers presenting their films this weekend at the Micon, when A Night of Horror's first US edition, screens simultaneously with its sister festival MidWest WeirdFest.
Taking advantage of the Micon's two screens, each festival will run its own array of new cutting edge genre and underground cinema; Offering audiences constant choices throughout the festival, with a different film playing on each screen throughout the long weekend. There's also an added bonus for festival pass holders. A Night of Horror passes also allow entry into any MidWest WeirdFest session, and vice versa.
