Noire Night: A Celebration of Black Horror and Halloween

Production: Noire Night: A Celebration of Black Horror and Halloween

Join us for Noire Night, an unforgettable evening that highlights Black horror in film. We’ll kick off the night with a special screening and discussion of the documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror, which explores the pivotal role Black filmmakers and actors have played in shaping the genre.

Following the screening, the night continues with a Halloween party, featuring DJ 2x5acles spinning live while the iconic Night of the Living Dead—the first Black-led horror film—plays silently in the background. The event will also include a Halloween costume contest, drinks, and refreshments.
