NecronomiCon Providence 2015
FILM SCREENING SCHEDULE!

After much ado, here is the very last (and surely not least) piece of programming for NecronomiCon Providence: our list of feature-length and short films! At the top is a simple list of venue, time of screening, and title.

Please scroll down for details on each screening.

Note: ALL screenings are open to the General Public for $5 per person – which allows access to all following screenings at the same venue each day. Convention pass holders and guests get into all screenings for free, with the noted exception of the Dunwich Horror Picture Show on Sunday night. As with all convention programming, venues are limited seating capacity as determined by the Fire Marshall so all seats are first-come, first-served.

Additional choruses of thanks to the Providence Public Library and AS220 for co-sponsoring these screenings, and helping us see them to fruition. Final, deepest thanks to all the generous filmmakers!
