Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

Halaloween screens horror films from across the globe that were made by, for, or about Muslims, to understand: “What scares Muslim audiences? Are horror movies halal?” This year’s 2023 film festival will be in-person and online, screening one film a week for the first half of the month of October, and culminating in two in-person screenings at the State Theatre, on Tuesday October 24th and 31st at 7:30 PM. The festival is free in person and online–but make sure to reserve tickets! Some films may not be available in certain countries. Films will be unlocked online each week of October, and viewers will have the week to watch each film. We are inclusive of everyone's film needs: from new horror fans who close their eyes through most scary movies, to those who love the gore–we've got films for everyone!
