Join us for another evening of incredible short indie horror films in Norwich!

The Independent Horror Society has been dedicated to supporting grassroots horror cinema for over 10 years, and we're so proud to have 2,300+ committed horror fans and filmmakers in our ranks.

We have launched the Indie Film Showcase to do what we love best -- bringing incredible short genre films from hugely talented filmmakers, to the wonderful UK horror community. And in January we hosted a brand-new line up of short films in London, showcasing a superb range of projects from all over the globe.

But with so much passion and hard work having gone into each and every film on the line up, we want as many folk as possible to see them. Which is why we're delighted to be able to take them out on the road -- and our next stop will be the glorious city of Norwich!

What's more, 20% of all profit made on ticket sales will go straight into our Creators Fund - so by coming along, you're actively helping creators fund their next projects!

So join us at Voodoo Daddys on Thursday, 26th November for a night of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course - over 2 solid hours of incredible short horror films.

Doors open at 6:30pm, with films starting at 6:45pm. There will also be a short break between blocks.

(Please note: standard IHS Members can get tickets for £9, and IHS Pro members get them for just £6. Please see our member hubs for the codes!)

Here's a quick preview of what's in store:

A Drive at Dawn

Dir: Joe D'Ovidio, UK

Three men drive into the desert at night to wrestle with an unspeakable evil.

Beauty Sleep

Dir: Jasmine De Silva, UK

Beauty Sleep is a retro futuristic short film about beauty, identity, and the dangerous pursuit of perfection.

In the Beauty Sleep world, cosmetic enhancement is more extreme than our own. New boobs, butts and faces can be purchased, sewn on and bedazzled to your choosing.

And the latest trend? A living embalmnment, where teenage girls, for their Sweet 16, emerge from a sparkling coffin instead of a giant cake.

But when an eccentric mortician, trapped under the patriarchal thumb of her controlling boss, accidentally kills a client, she sees a twisted chance to escape. As the clock ticks, she plots her way out by stealing "the face" from the client, but not before giving the dead girl the most bizarrely beautiful makeover of her afterlife. Beauty Sleep is a dark, satirical dive into perfection, creativity, and control.

The Woman in the Bed

Vowels

Dir: Rafael De Leon, USA

Ava needs to record a self-tape but her speech impediment keeps getting in the way.

Weeds

Dir: Stefano Toniatti, Canada

A seemingly ordinary gardening job turns into an epic show down when a gardener battles monstrous weeds in a lady's backyard, fighting them with flair and over-the-top bravado. While the lady peacefully sips juice on the porch, unaware of the chaos, the gardener wages a cinematic war against the weed monsters who threaten the existence of our world.

Long live indie horror!
