Splatterfest XII

35MM Screening

About

The AllNight Italian Horror Film Festival, aka Splatterfest, returns to the Colonial Theatre for an all-nighter featuring five ferocious from Italy (released, filmed,  or directed by an Italian filmmaker).

The 2024 selection is filled with insanely strange, gory Italian horror cinema. Trust us, you will find contentment in the craziness. For 2024, we are back to being completely on 35mm. Thanks to Exhumed Films for making this a reality. 

Children under 17 must be accompanied by a Parent or Guardian. Tickets are non-refundable. Ticket prices include the Processing Fee. This fee will be added at check out. Tickets are available with cash, check, or credit card at the Colonial Theatre Box Office, or online. No member or guest passes are accepted for this event.
