Holiday Horror Streams Free via Little Terrors

Tuesday, December 15, 2020 | Events

Earlier in the year, our monthly Toronto-based short film screening series Little Terrors was put on hold for the safety of our live audiences. The event is still on hiatus as a physical, in-person event, but that doesn’t mean we are going to break the tradition of our popular Xmas programs. Do we have a holiday horror treat to give to you! On Tuesday, December 22nd at 8pm EST, we will be presenting a program of crazy Xmas-genre shorts via this streaming link! There’s a pre-show at 7:30pm and the event is FREE worldwide! That being said, we will be collecting optional charity donations throughout the event, to be split evenly between Feed Ontario and the ACLU. So tune in from wherever you are, and get in the spirit of the season with our Holiday Streaming Spectacular! Full event details here.

Here’s the line-up:

Twas the Night of the Tree Beast (6 minutes)

Breaking Santa (10 minutes)

The Itching (15 minutes)

In this unsettling animated short, a shy Wolf tries to connect with a group of hip, party-loving bunnies over Xmas. Unfortunately, her body is in revolt. Twisted past-selection of Sundance, Fantasia, Toronto After Dark, Fantastic Fest and more.

Do You See What I See? (14 minutes)

Chowboys: An American Folktale (9 minutes)
DIR: Astron 6
LT-alumnus Astron 6 present their ‘final short film’, screened at Sundance in 2019. No explanation can do this surreal piece of gory comedy justice, so just come and experience it. Trailer

Treevenge (15 minutes)
DIR: Jason Eisener
A holiday cult-classic, this is required Xmas viewing! The director of ‘Hobo with a Shotgun’ delivers his own holiday twist on a revenge tale. Nobody is safe! Award-winning previous selection of too many film festivals to count. Showing this has become an annual Little Terrors Xmas tradition! Trailer

Happy holidays!
