Accessibility

We take access as seriously as we take horror.

Great horror should get under your skin. Getting into the festival should not. Access is built into the way Access:Horror is programmed, presented and experienced, so you can spend less time figuring out the logistics and more time with the films, the scares and whatever follows you home.
