Horrid & Horrifying Hot Sauce are proud to announce that we are teaming up for a recurring film fest starting Spring 2025! The Horridfying Film Festival will be Sunday matinee event at Creepatorium every 1-2 months, and will include at least one feature, short films, trivia, vendors, prizes and more!
Often we will have either the filmmakers in attendance, or on video either with a Q&A or a pre-recorded intro to their film made exclusively for this showing. Horrifying Hot Sauce will be available for sale, and there WILL be new sauces debuting with some films, and one-off versions of established sauces for other films...
Do YOU have a movie you’d like to show at Horridfying fest? We are looking for independently made, local shorts that are generally horror or horror-adjacent (if you have a feature you want to discuss, let’s hear about it too!) To submit, fill out the google form here:

Every 1-2 months Creepatorium will be overrun for a Sunday Matinee that is the Horridfying Film Fest. Featuring independently made shorts and features, trivia, prizes, intros/Q&A's with filmmakers, exclusive small batch tie-in Horrifying Hot Sauce and art, and more! Tickets are $15 or $25 for VIP (see ticket page for details).
For the 2nd HFF, our feature is going a bit darker with Scott Phillips' Gimme Skelter. Starring the late, great Gunnar Hansen (The Original Leatherface), as well as cult film favorites Trent Haaga (Killjoy the Killer Clown), Billy Garberina (Necroville), Kurly Tlapoyawa (The Stink of Flesh), and more.
This film follows a man who thinks he is the son of Charles Manson, and to get daddy's attention, he has assembled his own little family.They descend on the town of Banion's Cross, New Mexico (pop. 67), and plant to take out the whole town in one night. But small towns have a way of hiding their own foul secrets, and things rarely go to plan.
This is Gunnar Hansen's "lost film," as it has rarely been seen outside of showings of Albuquerque, and had 2 small DVD runs in the 100's. Gunnar is not the bad guy for a change, and is able to flex his acting chops unlike he rarely was able to do. He even talked about this film in his memoir where he said "I once worked on a very low-budget horror movie, Gimme Skelter (2007). ...it was a very good movie, partly because it had a great script. The characters were real, the audience cared for them, the story was engaging, and the movie was scary."

This month we are focusing on homegrown horrors with all Colorado-made short films, and 2012's Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer. Directors Zack Beins and Richard Taylor will be in attendance to intro the film, and for a Q&A after, and a small batch of National Bowling Tournament in Hawaii will be available!
