Hellifax Horror Fest is dedicated to horror genre fanatics in Halifax and the Atlantic region. This year Hellifax takes place October 16-19 at Carbon Arc Cinema!

When some very creepy things start happening around school, the kids at Herrington High make a chilling discovery that confirms their worst suspicions: their teachers really are from another planet. As mind-controlling parasites rapidly begin spreading from the faculty to the students' bodies, it's ultimately up to the few who are left, an unlikely collection of loners, leaders, nerds, and jocks, to save the world from alien domination.

"Criminally underrated. In nearly every aspect, The Faculty acts as collage. Admittedly, there are virtually no new ideas here, but rather homages to forebears, direct references to contemporary influences and modernization of classic sci-fi tropes." - Josh Goller, Spectrum Culture

"Another playful meta entry from Kevin Williamson. Anchored by an all-star cast and featuring endlessly quotable dialogue, The Faculty is essential queer horror." - Joe Lipsett, Horror Queers Podcast

Tickets $10.95 ($10 cash at the door if available)
