Programmed and hosted by horror-loving best friends Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg, the series focuses on the nostalgic, the films that were in heavy weekend rotation in your parents’ basement.

"We have both always loved horror films in a big way, but we haven't always felt welcome in male-dominated horror spaces. We know we aren't alone in that feeling, so we created Pillow Fright! with help from the programming team at the Hot Docs Cinema. It's a welcoming, inclusive space for women and queer folks to enjoy scary movies together. We're bringing back the cozy, sleepover vibes - no film bros talking over us, no one questioning if we 'really' love horror, and no gatekeeping." - Danita Steinberg + Emily Gagne
