Scarecrowber 2026
When There Is No More Room In Hell, The Dead Will Walk The Earth
October 14-28, 2026
Scarecrowber returns to the SIFF Film Center with three vintage scary classics: a slasher, a ghost story, and an alien invasion. Each combines a singular strain of genre thrills with their own mystery to untangle, and all three contain some of the most indelible images in horror history. Presented as a collaboration between Scarecrow Video and SIFF.
Seattle's own non-profit video archive, Scarecrow Video, is a movie-lovers mecca with more individual titles available to rent than anywhere in the world. Their maniacally knowledgeable staff love October most of all because it is that time of year when horror movies—every video store clerk's favorite genre—reign supreme. To celebrate, SIFF is dubbing Scarecrowber as the official 10th month of the year and celebrating with some of the Scarecrow staff's hand-picked favorite horror films! Come celebrate all things horror this Scarecrowber at the SIFF Film Center and half the proceeds of your ticket will go to supporting Scarecrow Video.
