The New England chapter of the Horror Writers Association and the Best Video Film & Cultural Center invite you to an evening of thrills and chills on Thursday, October 9.

• SHUDDER as HWA members B.C. Bull, Robb Coutinho, Logan Johnson, Jackson Kuhl, and John Opalenik discuss fifteen of their favorite horror movies in a panel discussion with the audience!

• TREMBLE at their choices — some of the films well-known, others obscure sleeper hits!

• EXPERIENCE the movie trailers that will accompany each recommendation!

From vampires to slashers, psychological horror to Icelandic noir, if you have an opinion about horror movies or just want some fresh recommendations of what to watch, you don’t want to miss this panel. Each of the HWA panelists is not only a horror aficionado but also a horror writer. Their novels and short-story collections will be available for sale afterward.

The panel will begin at 7pm on Thursday, October 9 at the Best Video Film & Cultural Center, located at 1842 Whitney Avenue in Hamden. The event is free and open to the public, although a $5 donation is suggested. Refreshments are available at the coffee bar — although there may be some free Halloween candy too.
