I bring you an updated round-up of Shroomery screenings announced so far. Unfortunately two of these are this weekend, an announcement delayed because refrigerated mushroom monsters cost money to keep feeding and I’ve been subsumed by the extractive digestive tentacles of capfruit capitalism:
LOS ANGELES, ‘FORNIA FREAKS:
TOMORROW, Sat, Aug 8, 2:30 PM PT – 3:59 PM PT
The Screaming Room Film Festival at Midsummer Scream
Creatures of the Night Block: https://screamingroom.horrorbuzz.com/films/2026/blocks/creatures-of-the-night
From malicious refrigerator fungi to literal inner demons stalking Parisian streets, confront a terrifying assortment of monsters that prove nowhere is safe from the things that hunt after dark.
Special shout out to my friend Rachel Kerry for the recommendation, this festival has been treating us well.

Also this is the second time I have been showcased by Festival of Cinema NYC, Jayson does a fantastic job and by all means you should get involved with everything the festival offers. It starts this weekend!
BUFFALO, NEW YORK FREAKS:
Standby and watch this space... an exciting announcement to made public soon, with date in mid-September. I promise these shrooms grow faster than paint dries.
Yours in spores,
