This Halloween, Pictureville Cinema presents Fatal Femmes, a series of screenings paying tribute to women in horror. From 25 October to 2 November, Yorkshire’s largest independent cinema is offering a handpicked selection of titles, from new contemporary favourites to cult classics, featuring new 4k restorations, rare print editions and more.

Fatal Femmes celebrates the powerful, and often terrifying, ways women have shaped horror over the last 60 years. With a selection of titles examining chilling themes such as obsession, secrecy and revenge, horror fans are invited to immerse themselves in a chilling exploration of femininity and fear.

On Thursday 31 October, the cinema will be hosting its own Halloween double bill with two iconic horror titles, “Suspiria” (1977) and “Carrie” (1976). The evening is a rare chance to see Dario Argento’s Italian supernatural epic “Suspiria” brought back to life on 35mm, along with a new 4k restoration of Brian De Palma’s “Carrie”.

The season also celebrates women behind the camera, with a Rose Glass double feature of “Saint Maud” (2019) and “Love Lies Bleeding” (2024) for fans of contemporary horror. Other highlights from across the programme include psychological thriller “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane” (1962) and occult coming-of-age drama “The Craft” (1996), as well as Robert Eggers’ haunting tale of isolation and black magic “The Witch” (2015).
