Hub City Horror Film Fest Brings Five Local Shorts And Night Of The Living Dead To Cactus Theater On October 30th - FMX 94.5

The first annual festival comes from DMH Productions, giving Lubbock area filmmakers a shot at the big screen before Halloween. Five short films from local directors will play alongside the George Romero zombie classic, a pairing that puts homegrown talent next to one of horror's founding texts. The Cactus Theater has long hosted live music and stage shows downtown, so a horror film fest on its screen marks new ground for the venue.

For anyone in Lubbock who loves horror movies, this is a rare chance to see local work before it goes anywhere else. Independent horror has had a strong run at the box office lately, and festivals like this one are where that talent usually starts. Show up October 30th and you'll get five short films made by people from right here, then a movie that helped define the zombie genre decades ago.

Horror started as a genre back in the 1890s. Lubbock is about to add one more chapter to that history on a Friday night at the Cactus.
