From the CineFamily’s Website:

Cinema is full of neurotic personalities, but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen. Horror as a genre provides the most welcoming platform for these histrionics: crippling paranoia, desperate loneliness, masochistic death-wishes, dangerous obsessiveness, apocalyptic hysteria. Using a heavily autobiographical perspective to explore the heavy stew of female neurosis found in horror and exploitation films, author/film programmer/Cinefamily friend Kier-La Janisse has just published a film criticism tome for the ages: “House of Psychotic Women” (published by FAB Press.) In this incredible new work, anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and examination of female madness — both onscreen and off. The publication of this eminently readable volume is the launching pad for a film series we’ve been very excited about quite some time, as it gives us the chance to weave together many various strands of the horror canon into one beautiful layer cake of crazy.

We’re thrilled to not only have Kier-La’s curatorial guidance (honed at such great places as the Alamo Drafthouse, as well as Canada’s Blue Sunshine Psychotronic Film Centre, POP Montreal and the CineMuerte Horror Film Festival), but also Kier-La in person for the Feb. 1st show of 3 Women and the Feb. 5th show of Play Misty For Me!
