Feral Friday Horror Fest Screening & Fundraiser

Did you miss some of the experimental, horror, or thriller short films at the 2026 Asheville Film Festival? Or maybe you absolutely loved a Feral Friday short film and want to see it again with your friends? Want a fun, Halloween event where you can dress in costume, watch some films, mingle and support independent filmmaking?

Mark your calendars for the Feral Friday Horror Fest Screening & Fundraiser!

Join us on Friday, October 23rd 7PM-10PM at the Asheville Masonic Temple for two back-to-back short film screening blocks, a red carpet photo-op, costume contest, drinks, FREE charcuterie, & a fundraiser raffle.

Dress to impress or don your Halloween costume for the red carpet. Snag some raffle tickets at the door to win prizes like an antique 1930's 8mm projector and screen, VIP Passes to next year's Asheville Film Festival, & more! The costume contest winners will also receive a prize pack including Asheville Film Festival t-shirts and VIP Passes and everyone will feel like a winner because every screening & raffle ticket, drink, & merch sold benefits the Asheville Film Festival, a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization that relies solely on individual support from people like you.

There are two ticket tiers to fit every budget:
