Submissions for Hellifax Horror Fest 2025 are now OPEN.

Special Event Screening

Celebrate Friday the 13th with the delicious Canadian cult classic Ginger Snaps! The story of two outcast sisters, Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins), in the mindless suburban town of Bailey Downs. On the night of Ginger’s first period, she is savagely attacked by a wild creature. Ginger’s wounds miraculously heal but something is not quite right. Now Brigitte must save her sister and save herself.
