The Sinister Sundial Film Festival presents
Sinister Prom of ’84
A night of sequins, hairspray, and copper. September 26, 2026 · Redding, California.
- The Invocation -
The Circle has chosen a memory.But it is not yours. Not anymore.
In 1984, something bled through the veil: a night of sequins, sweat, and slaughter. They called it Prom. We call it the Offering.
This year, the Sinister Sundial gathers to relive what never should have happened. We summon short films soaked in neon, VHS static, and forgotten rituals. Expect shoulder pads, synths, slow dancing… and a body count.
The Horn of Abraxas has sounded. You are cordially invited.
- Submissions Closed -
Sacrifices Taken
The altar is full. Thank you to every filmmaker who bled for this year’s Offering. Jury review is underway. Tickets for the September 26 ceremony are on sale now.
