While Salem Horror Fest has become one of the most intriguing horror celebrations in October in recent years, the festival's hard-working creative team stay busy celebrating the genre all year long, and they'll continue to do so this March with a special screening of Jordan Peele's Us.

Taking place on Thursday, March 21st at the AMC Liberty Tree Mall 20 in Danvers, MA, Salem Horror Fest's screening of Us will feature an introduction by Ashlee Blackwell (co-writer/producer of Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror and founder of Graveyard Shift Sisters), who was recently a special guest on our Corpse Club podcast!

This year's Salem Horror Fest will begin on Thursday, October 3rd and run through Sunday, October 13th. If you're looking to book a hotel or secure an Airbnb, then you'll want to do it here sooner rather than later, as space is limited.

"Salem Horror Fest presents a special advance screening of Jordan Peele’s new film at AMC Liberty Tree Mall 20 with special introduction by Ashlee Blackwell (Horror Noire, Graveyard Shift Sisters).

Accompanied by her husband, son and daughter, Adelaide Wilson returns to the beachfront home where she grew up as a child. Haunted by a traumatic experience from the past, Adelaide grows increasingly concerned that something bad is going to happen to her family. Her worst fears soon become a reality when four masked strangers descend upon the house, forcing the Wilsons into a fight for survival. When the masks come off, each stranger takes the appearance of a different family member.
