Scream, Queens! Brighton LGBTQ+ Horror Film Night

Brighton’s FilmPride festival is hosting Scream, Queens!, an unmissable special Halloween screening showcasing ten independent LGBTQ+ horror short films. Taking place at The Actors in Kemptown on Friday 30 October 2026, from 7 pm to 9 pm, this unique event offers a refreshing alternative to mainstream seasonal entertainment by placing queer storytelling directly at the heart of the horror genre.

Diverse Shorts and International Stories

The eclectic programme runs the gamut from terrifying supernatural thrillers and gripping body horror to dark comedy and science fiction.

The lineup features standout international shorts like Papergirl, Itch, Black Hole Barry, The Last Story on Earth, Love Spell, and The Cost of Living, alongside four other captivating titles.

These independent films ingeniously explore complex themes of identity, personal transformation, relationships, and the darker side of human imagination through distinct and powerful LGBTQ+ lenses.

Accessibility and Tickets

Tickets are priced affordably at £5 for standard admission and £3 for concessions, making independent cinema accessible to everyone.

Please note that entry is strictly restricted to adults aged 18 and over. To ensure a fully inclusive experience for all attendees, all ten short films will be fully captioned.

Spooky Halloween costumes are entirely optional but very welcome for those looking to embrace the festive spirit.
