Salem Horror Fest Producers ‘Horror Arts Collective’ to Open Physical Space in Salem
Horror Arts Collective, the team behind Salem Horror Fest, are gearing up to open a unique, horror-centric venue in Salem, Massachusetts, that blends film, fandom, media preservation, academia, and atmosphere into an immersive experience for the community.
Imagine a cozy, sinister space filled with cult classics, forgotten VHS gems, and horror staples; a place where fans can gather and watch films in a 25-seat screening room, rent films from an expansive physical media library, support local creators, attend lectures and workshops, and explore the dark corners of cinema history.
Horror Arts Collective has the physical space, the lease, and the vision. Now they’ve launched a GoFundMe to help bring it to life.
Donations will go toward furniture and decor, a physical media library, light construction, supplies, and a payroll nest egg.
You can also help support Horror Arts Collective by attending their upcoming events:
- 6/13 – Friday the 13th Screening – Cinema Salem
- 6/14 – A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Screening – Cinema Salem
- 6/20 – The Hunger Screening – Cinema Salem
- 6/20 – Vampire Dance Party with Vanta – Hallowed Ground
Horror has always been a home for the misfits, the creatives, the outsiders, the curious. Let’s help create a communal space for connection and celebrating the genre that unlocks, and helps us face, our greatest fears.
Every season can be Halloween season with a little imagination, right?! Our friends at Spirit Halloween are determined to make sure you have a scary little summer with their new Summerween lineup, which kicks off this week with a killer new Terrifier pool party collection that features everything from a Terrifier beach towel to an Art the Clown pool float!
The exclusive, limited-time Terrifier collection is available now while supplies last.
Art the Clown has haunted the streets of Miles County on Halloween and the holidays, and now Spirit is helping him take a stab at summer. This officially-licensed collaboration arrives as the “Summerween” movement, a mid-summer celebration of spooky culture, reaches a fever pitch with #summerween amassing over 34.7B views and counting.
“The horror fandom doesn’t hibernate in the heat,” said Lori Tesoro, Director of PR at Spirit Halloween. “By bringing Terrifier‘s Art the Clown into the summer, we’re giving Halloween fans the year-round scares they demand.”
The collection features killer essentials to turn any beach day into a sun-soaked slasher where guests won’t know if they should grab a drink… or make a run for it.
- “Summer Scaries” Sign: a layered 3D sign that practically pulls Art the Clown off the wall and into the party.
- Art the Clown Ice Cream Inflatable Pool Float: a nearly six-foot Art-inspired ice cream cone topped with his iconic sunflower shades and devious grin.
- Art the Clown Pool Party Can: dripping graphics, a blood-red straw, and a sunnies topper that says hydration… but make it homicidal.
- Terrifier Beach Towel: one side chill black and white design, one side full-blown blood-splattered chaos.
- Terrifier Tote and Mini: perfect for SPF, snacks, and whatever you can grab in a panic.
- Terrifier Apparel: Drip shorts, Summer Scaries graphic tee, and Art the Clown Cropped Tank Top that serve “final character chic” with a killer instinct.
- Art the Clown Accessories: signature ice pop sunnies and a reversible bucket hat that flips from sunny to nightmare fuel in seconds.
