Each week will be a SPOOKTACULAR thrill for anyone who likes to be in front of the camera, sitting behind the camera, or writing the chilling tales themselves!

From 2-4pm every Friday, we will be creating an anthology of short horror films that will eventually be compiled into one huge video. This is slightly different from a youth video club; since there is no definite roster, you can show up whenever you would like to.

This program will be running every Friday until March 23rd. It is open to students in 6th grade through high school.

Contact Faith Brodi at faith@batvinc.org for more information!
