Hammond Horror Festival
to
Gnarly Barley Brewing Company 1709 Corbin Road, Hammond, Louisiana 70401
The annual Hammond Horror Festival, presented by the Louisiana Center for Theatrical Arts to provide a community showcase for artists working in all mediums (with just a twist of horror thrown in) kicks off Friday with a Macabre Showcase at the Gnarly Barley Brewing Company, screening the entrants of the inaugural 48-Hour Film Contest. (That's films made in forty-eight hours, not ones that last that long). The film fest's after-party, a masquerade ball, includes a Zombie Fashion Show created by local designers, a performance by Livewire, a purportedly twisted choreographed dance piece by the La LA Tribal belly dancing troupe, a horror-themed Arts Market, music, raffle prizes, and plenty of dancing. 6 pm–11 pm. $20.
On Saturday the festivities transmutate over to Pottle Auditorium on SLU's campus, for "Seven Tales from the Labyrinth," Alpha Psi Omega's twenty-four-hour theatre event in which the troupe gives themselves just twenty-four hours to write, rehearse, stage, and perform an original piece of theatre. 8 pm–10 pm. $7 at the door. hammondhorrorfest.org.
