​EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

SugarMynt Gallery is excited to host the SugarMynt CineScare Horror Film Festival on Saturday, November 7th, in our outdoor backyard screening area, located right next door to the iconic Michael Myers house from John Carpenter's Halloween.

We're celebrating independent horror filmmakers with an evening of short films featuring supernatural scares, psychological thrillers, slashers, animated horror, micro-shorts, and more!

Whether you love a good ghost story, a creepy psychological thriller, or a classic slasher, there's something for every horror fan!

The evening features three different screening blocks, each with its own lineup of horror shorts, followed by an awards ceremony celebrating the filmmakers and their work.

​
