10pm Shuttle


When Jules (Cameron Goodman) and Mel (Peyton List) return late at night from a ladies-only vacation, they find themselves at the airport on a rainy night that seems darker than usual. Wanting to get home but with limited options, they board an airport shuttle with a driver (Tony Curran), hoping for a safe and short ride.

SATURDAY

12pm Quench


Photographed in the warm beauty of a Midwestern autumn, QUENCH tells the story of Derik, a young man grieving over the recent death of an unknown loved one. After finding no one to turn to, Derik decides to abandon his current life at college to visit Jason. Although best friends since grade school, the two have not seen or spoken to one another in three years. Once they have reunited, Derik soon realizes that Jason is no longer the friend he once knew. Not only has he dramatically changed his external appearance, but he is now a part of a mysterious group, a Family. A truly unique, stylish, and compelling film, QUENCH is sure to challenge, unsettle, and enlighten any audience that is curious to step deep inside of a world that lives right beneath them.


BLOOD RIVER follows the story of Summer and Clark, a young, attractive couple driving through the Nevada desert to tell Summer’s parents of her pregnancy. A devastatingly bloody blowout leaves them miles from civilization with no food, water, or a spare tire. Worried about the safety of her unborn child, the couple manages to walk to a deserted, ghost of a town. Their spirits soar when they meet Joseph, a rough-edged, chain smoking drifter, then come crashing down when they realize he may not be all that he seems…

4pm Dark Night of the Scarecrow (Remastered HD/Widescreen w/panel)


In a small town, a wrongfully killed man exacts revenge on those who murdered him beyond the grave.


The film tells the tale of a dysfunctional family’s vacation to the Irish countryside that encounters a village of diseased, deformed and decidedly homicidal residents.


France. A night at the beginning of the 1970s. Lucie, a little girl missing for over a year, is discovered wandering by the side of a country road. Near catatonic, she can say nothing about what has happened to her. The cops quickly find the place in which she’s been incarcerated – a disused slaughterhouse. Every indication is that she never once left the empty, freezing room in which she was imprisoned. Filthy, starving, dehydrated, the child’s body nonetheless bears no traces of sexual abuse – this was no pedophile abduction, but something far stranger. What happened in that icy room? And how did Lucie escape?


Mum and Dad, and their ‘adopted’ children, Birdie & Elbie, work at the airport. The family live off whatever they scavenge from cargo holds, offices and hotels – including a steady stream of transient workers who populate the airport’s soulless hub. When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner, is befriended by Birdie, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder and perversity. Imprisoned in a suburban House of Horrors and designated a ‘Mummy’s Girl’, Lena’s only options appear to be to become part of the family – and join them in their insanity – or die.

In addition, this March’s HorrorHound Weekend Indianapolis (27-29) will be expanding into masked territory as Included in the ticket pricing will be admission to the HMA Mask-Fest, which is a collaboration between The Halloween Mask Association and HorrorHound Weekend to celebrate the hobby of monster mask collecting and the art of independent mask makers.
