Q&A—MIDNIGHTERS

Spooky, frightening, alien, and imaginative, this program has everything for horror and sci-fi-seeking audiences. From tales of family hauntings to dystopian societies, these filmmakers delve into the genre that critics and viewers have long discussed as closely reflecting, and refracting, human nature.

1950’s, Baltimore, Christmastime, a failing musician invites a music promoter over under the false pretense of romance. His true intent is to force his music on her. When she is not moved by his music or his antics, he responds poorly. He is “bad” as he doesn’t realize that one of Santa’s elves is watching, making a list, checking it twice.
