Grimmfest and Matchbox Cine are delighted to welcome the esteemed writer, filmmaker, producer, publisher, curator and programmer Kier-La Janisse for an exclusive hosted screening of Robert Wise’s The Haunting and a special Q&A. 

Janisse is a former head film programmer, founder and director of International film festivals. More recently, she produced and directed the award-winning documentary Woodland Dark & Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror. But she’s best known for House Of Psychotic Women: An Autobiographical Topography Of Female Neurosis In Horror & Exploitation Films, a ground-breaking hybrid of personal memoir and film criticism and a definitive study of female madness onscreen.

Kier-la Janisse will be introducing an exclusive Grimmfest screening of The Haunting. Robert Wise’s chilling classic 1963 version of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting Of Hill House is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most genuinely terrifying haunted house movies of all time.
