Every October, we put that to the test.
A little about Circle M
It started in 2016 with a love of horror and an October full of movies. We’ve been doing it ever since.
Some years have a theme. Others go wherever the night takes us. New releases share the screen with old favorites, and there’s always room for one more film.
This is our personal festival diary, shared with friends, family, and anyone who loves a good scare.
