Horror Movie Night at The Frida Cinema

Join us for our monthly horror movie night at the famous FRIDA CINEMA in Santa Ana. Every last Friday of the month we will present a cinematically significant horror flick and offer a hell of a time too! Prize giveaways, Hijinks, and more will ensue.

On Friday, January 25th we’ll treat you to a 90s throwback screening of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, one of the earliest found footage films with an unBOOlievable marketing strategy that took advantage of the new global internet usage. Get your tickets HERE (insert hyperlink)

SUNDANCE Film Festival 2019

That’s right! HorrorBuzz has been invited to cover the Sundance Film Festival! We will be on scene to report on all of the horror films premiering here. Will we discover this year’s Hereditary? Or will we end up sitting through another Happy, Texas? Dunno. But we will be there on the scene to give the first word of the best horror coming our way in 2019!

Midsummer Scream

Ready for Halloween but don’t want to wait 4 more months? Hang with us at MIDSUMMER SCREAM this July! Come visit us at our booth, or attend our very own SCREAMING ROOM Film Festival, where we showcase the best feature and short films from upcoming horror, sci-fi, and fantasy filmmakers. Dates and times TBA.

As usual, we will continue our PASSPORT TO FEAR events throughout fall 2019, where we treat you to VIP horror events and haunts at our “slashed” prices. Past venues have included Knott’s Scary Farm, Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor, Winchester Mystery House, and more. NEW venues and their dates TBA. 

This is also a fang-tastic year for exclusive HorrorBuzz festival coverage: in addition to our traditional attendance at Shriekfest and Screamfest, we will be at SUNDANCE for the very first time!!
