Pillow Fright!: Programmed and hosted by horror-loving best friends Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg, Pillow Fright! is a new sleepover-themed, creep-tastic series for fellow friendly freaks – the girls, gays, and theys who crave a good scare in a safe, inclusive space. With a focus on nostalgic favourites, expect all the films that were in heavy weekend rotation in your parents’ basement. Come early for activities, contests, and plenty of spooky surprises. If you spent your childhood browsing the horror aisle at your local video store and summoning Bloody Mary in the bathroom, this series is for you! Pajamas encouraged and nightmares expected.

You and your bravest friends are invited to a sleepover-themed screening of Paranormal Activity (2007) hosted by Pillow Fright! curators Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg. The first instalment in this chilling found-footage franchise documents a young couple’s supernatural nightmare as they experience a haunting in their home. When they set up a camera to capture the unexplained phenomena, what unfolds is nothing short of terrifying. A minimalist masterclass in atmosphere and dread, Paranormal Activity proves that less is often more in horror films, and what we don’t see is far more frightening than what we do. Come early for karaoke, Ouija Board sessions, and a ghost story competition.

Doors will open 60 minutes before the screening.
