“Given that all of us will experience disability and horror in our lifetimes, I consider the work of this festival to be necessary planning for the future.  But let’s have a goddamn good time while we do it.” – Ariel Baska Submit to our 2026 film festival: filmfreeway.com/AccessHorror... ❤️🩸

Submissions are now OPEN for our 2026 Access:HORROR Film Festival! If you’re a filmmaker who creates art inspired by horror, fantasy, or the fantastic, we want to see your film. Films must be related to genre and disability – a full list of requirements is available at our submission link.

The record-breaking Sinners took the horror community by storm this year, so this movie recommendation is likely to be a RE-watch for most of us . . . What was the most memorable part of the film for you?

We are already halfway through October, and want to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated to our project thus far. As we’ve said before, this isn’t just a movie, it’s a movement, and your support means everything to us and this community.

“We have deliberately kept our program short, dark, and sweet. It costs a lot of money to provide accessibility assets for our programming, and by carefully curating, we hope to provide audiences with a useful frame.” – Ariel Baska, creator of Access:HORROR ❤️🩸

This week’s movie must-watch is Hellraiser, the 1987 supernatural horror film that introduced the iconic character of Pinhead. Have you watched all eleven of the related films?

Monstrous Me is a documentary that harnesses the rich and untold power of horror as a way of reckoning with disability identity through cinematic monsters. We’re asking for a small donation of just $6.66 to help us get the funding we need to bring it to life. my.onecause.com/fundraiser/o...

“At Access:HORROR we have expansive definitions of both disability and horror. Not everything here is likely to scare you, but hopefully taken together as a whole it will help you think differently about both disability and horror.” – Ariel Baska, creator of Access:HORROR ❤️🩸

It’s Halloween time and we’re planning an evening of creepy crawlies, spookiness, chills, and thrills. See you there! REGISTER: disabilityculturalcenter.org/event/access...

A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the classics that informs and inspires us here at Access:Horror, so of course it had to be the first must-watch recommendation as we jump into October. ❤️📺 #anightmareonelmstreet

Scary season is officially here! As we kick off October, we’re asking for something small but powerful. Would you consider donating just $6.66 to help bring Monstrous Me, to life? Thank you for supporting independent horror, accessibility, and equity in film. ❤️

With a certain killer doll back on the big screen this Friday, here are five killer toy horror movies you can stream this week:

Happy Juneteenth! Opal Lee, “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” dedicated her life to advocating for Juneteenth to be a national holiday. The historical legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of never giving up hope in uncertain times. We are in uncertain times, and we won’t give up either! #Pinks

I also wrote about the most important scene in the Friday the 13th franchise a few months ago & thought I should share this as well today as I’m super proud of this piece too: open.substack.com/pub/thehorro... Cheers y’all!!

Happy Friday the 13th to horror lovers everywhere! 🔪
