Here in New England, a rich storytelling tradition melds with contemporary fears materializing in a unique brand of cinematic creepiness. We’ve duly unearthed bursts of terror directly from our own backyard! Unquestionably, chilling political events over the past year have fueled many of this years offerings, and a shared theme is loss/seizure of control. BUFF’s HOMEGROWN HORROR once again proudly provides a platform for emerging local artists to exhibit their hair-raising visions, and our fourth installment is a convention-defying collection of truly bizarre tales of maniacs, monsters, and madness.
