The Faculty of Horror is headed back to Salem this October to celebrate its 100th episode in spooky, seasonal style! Join hosts Andrea Subissati and Alexandra West as they dissect George A. Romero’s 1973 classic, THE CRAZIES live at Cinema Salem on Saturday, October 9th as part of Salem Horror Fest! The live podcast will follow a screening of the film as part of the Romero Lives program, presented in partnership with the George A. Romero Foundation.

“We’re thrilled to be returning to Salem Horror Fest to record our 100th episode live! We’ve attended the fest since it started and after missing a year, it feels like coming home,” says West. “Salem Horror is an incredible opportunity for us to connect with listeners in such a spooky setting. We can’t wait to return to Witch City!” 

This event marks the fifth annual collaboration between The Faculty of Horror and Salem Horror Fest, and, to commemorate the momentous occasion, limited edition festival exclusive shirts are available now for purchase on the event website.
