Stay after the film for a Q&A moderated by Dear White People creator Justin Simien, with Patrik-Ian Polk and cast members Jazzmun, Vanessa Williams, and Rodney Chester!
Also today, get ready for goofy horror hijinks and high camp queer shenanigans atHeBGB TV! This year’s Platinum Centerpiece film, the screening includes an opening live action, spooky immersive experience. Get ready to be guided into the most ridiculously terrifying Halloween TV special ever seen on the big screen!
