The festival will be held in Molins de Rei from 4 to 13 November 2022 and online through Filmin from 27 October to 13 November.
After a 40th anniversary that celebrated the return to movie theaters and progressive normality and reaching record numbers, The Molins de Rei Horror Film Festival is preparing a new edition that will take place in the city from November 4 to 13 and online from October 27 to November 13 with horror musicals as the central motif..
Titles like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Shop of Horrors, The ghost of paradise, Sweeney Todd and other emblematic films of the genre resonate in the conception of a festival that, already in its fourth decade of life, aims to be a celebration of terror, cinema, music and, ultimately, culture in a post-pandemic panorama. TerrorMolins 2022, therefore, plans to offer an eclectic programming in works and also in activities, involving and promoting all artistic disciplines around genre cinema
Open calls. The festival is in the midst of its programming process, with the call for feature and short films open until the end of summer, as well as the horror micro-story and 20-second horror video contests, which will remain open until October. Anyone who wants to participate can do so through the festival website.
Everything indicates that this year we will finally see the smiles in the seats next to us again. And that we will be able to experience again, with bare faces, how the entire audience enjoys —and suffers— the genre that is so loved. In a room full to the brim, sharing the intimacy of this cinephile passion from a multitudinous complicity. Hugging each other, holding hands, kissing each other… without any more fear than what is projected on the screen.
And yes, who knows what will happen between now and November, but we want to believe it. Because it's time. And because we deserve it. You deserve it. For this reason, the 2022 edition of the Molins de Rei Horror Film Festival wants to invoke that it be so, through the magical power of cinema and music. Two essential elements of the pagan festival that we love so much, both separately and also "together and mixed up". And it is from this long joint tradition, which dates back to the "silent" beginnings of the seventh art, that we want to focus on one of its usually most festive and carefree, if not directly deliciously crazy and irreverent, expressions: horror musicals.
So, start booking your November dates and start preparing, because in the great party that this year's festival will be, we will surely end up shaking our skeletons, and even singing, to the rhythm of the hilarious screenings and parallel activities that we are preparing. We know how you are doing in the TerrorMolins family, and you know how much we like to cheer you up, so don't doubt that we will make the most of the musical aspect of this edition, in a program that will also include all the other activities, screenings and canyere performances that you already know and that will not be missing from the event.
