For those who couldn't attend Horror Studies Now 2024, this video put together by @DrSteve_Jones wonderfully sums up the vibrant, engaging and collegiate nature of the conference. #horrornu #HSN24 #northumbriauniversity

Very much looking forward to attending @SundShortsFilm and, in particular, seeing the Horror programme on Friday night at the Royalty Theatre. Very proud to see what former student Chris Allan (who is now making me feel very old) has done with the festival. #horrornu
🍿 And we’re off! What a great opening night at @FireStationSun to kick start Sunderland Shorts 2024. A massive thanks to the amazing audience, the fantastic filmmakers for sharing their work, local favourite @KellyScottRadio for hosting and BBC Look North for joining in the fun!

A pleasure to talk with Nia Edwards-Behi, Chris Cook and Rob Nevitt about the UK genre film festival scene earlier this month. The recording is now available for anyone who missed it and would like to watch. #genrefestivals #horrornu @stonecypher

The future of the iconic Cinema Nova (and home of Offscreen Film Festival) is now secured following an impressive fundraising campaign. It has long been a space where non-mainstream and alternative cinema can have a home and be celebrated. #horrorNU

The historic Cinema Nova in Brussels has managed to raise €833,700 in its recent campaign, enough to acquire a 68-year lease and pay for some urgent renovation works, such as a new boiler.

The trailer for this year's Offscreen Film Festival is better than even (and it is normally pretty amazing). There is a real art to doing these and Offscreen are masters of the craft. #Offscreen #HorrorStudiesResearchGroup @HorrorStudies
