To mark the book’s 10th anniversary, award-winning writer/programmer/filmmaker Janisse (WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED) now presents four of the strongest and strangest explorations of onscreen delirium and hysteria. Stray Cat Film Center is excited to be screening these four films, Courtesy of Severin Films and AGFA from The House of Psychotic Women ratites collection. If you would like to attend all four ‘House of Psychotic Women’ screenings at Stray Cat Film Center, you can buy a pass for only $20! Doors Open @ 6:30 ; Films Starts @ 7:00 LADIES NIGHT is a bi-monthly series hosted by Stray Cat programmer Danielle Krakenberg. These films are intentionally picked with a focus on the struggle, rise, and triumph of empowered (and sometimes crazy) women. At Ladies Night, we view & challenge the common stereotypes of women in genre films. It's called Ladies Night, but people of all genders are welcome! KIER-LA JANISSE is an author, critic, film programmer, podcaster, publisher and producer with an emphasis on genre cinema. ++++++++++
