Festival favorite Ruin Me also screened with Horrorama before premiering on Shudder this summer. A centerpiece showcase featured some of the most exciting indie horror work happening in Chicago, which included the world premiere of Jason Coffman’s debut feature Housesitters.

Horrorama 2019 plans to continue its mission of celebrating the inclusive, DIY spirit of the Midwest horror community by curating a diverse and exciting collection of films of all lengths, budgets and subgenres, paired with insightful Q&As, fun surprises and killer parties.

Though we work hard to exhibit material from Chicago and the American Midwest, submissions from all over the world will be warmly accepted.

Thanks to support from HorrorSociety.com, Team Horrorama is thrilled to return to the Davis for another weekend long horror film bash with Chicago’s most dedicated and passionate horror fans. Save the date, and submit your films!
