FEARnyc is Going Nationwide October 2019!
FEARnyc, New York City’s biggest horror film festival, today announced that it will expand to a nationwide, month-long event in October 2019 featuring hundreds of horror film screenings and horror-themed events in all 50 states each day of the month of October. Yup, a nationwide film festival is coming next fall.
“Fear has come to your little town,” said John Capo, FEARnyc Founder and Festival Director.
“The addled brains behind FEARnyc have gained national attention for scaring the pants off New Yorkers, and now we’re taking the event on the road. In addition to our usual slate of U.S. and world premiere film screenings and filmmaker Q&As, FEARnyc 2019 is planned to feature live theatrical events, art installations, haunted events in cemeteries and graveyards, horror-themed panel discussions, virtual reality presentations, concerts, photography exhibits, and other unique and unexpected events FEARnyc has built its reputation on. We’ve already held a seance with a packed audience in total darkness before a screening of The Exorcist. We’ve screened Night of the Living Dead with a live orchestral original score. We’ve had a witch party with a bunch of drag queens during Hocus Pocus. Who knows what we’ll bring to your city.”
FEARnyc is currently seeking film submissions as well as submissions of programming ideas and events from individuals and organizations in all 50 states.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
