To celebrate Eerie Horror Fest becoming an independent 501(c)(3), EHF is hosting an inaugural fundraiser on October 10th.
Join us for a special screening of William Castle’s classic: House on Haunted Hill.
Tickets are on sale now!
For those unfamiliar, golden-age horror director William Castle never did things in a standard fashion. With a background in theater work and scene building, Castle created what he called “Emergo:” an immersive technique designed to bring the film into our world by breaking the fourth wall.
Famous Emergo techniques included placing small motors beneath theater seats to shake them at specific points during a film and/or having an on-site paramedic to administer first aid to anyone in the audience too frightened to continue watching the feature presentation.
EHF has proudly teamed up with the Erie Playhouse to recreate some of William Castle’s most infamous Emergo techniques. As well as our own.
Before the film, we will be hosting a pre-show social hour. So join us for food trucks, themed cocktails, and communal spooky fun. Alongside the film presentation, hear exclusive announcements regarding Eerie Horror Fest’s next ventures.
We at EHF and the Playhouse believe in making art as accessible as possible. So this event will be priced on a sliding scale. With tickets starting at $20, the first tier is sufficient for both orgs to cover the event’s base costs. Then it tiers to $30, with the middle tier being the recommended ticket price. Our final tier is $40 for folks who want to help not only us as nonprofits but also help us offer lower-cost tickets to those who need them.
All ticket proceeds go directly to staff, organizations, and future programming. Tickets are on sale now!
Still ahead: keep your eyes peeled for more details on our pre-show party, food trucks and more.
We cannot wait to welcome you back to the Eerie Horror Fest. We’ve just been dying to see you all again.
