We’re in a golden age of horror, if I do say so myself. Just this month alone is a prime example. David Cronenberg is diving back into his body horror bread and butter. Ethan Hawke is playing a serial killer. Female director Chloe Okuno’s film is getting a wide release. The horror gods have laid out a feast for us and we’re eating good.

While there are some incredible new horror releases hitting Phoenix this month, there are also some amazing genre retrospective screenings, too. So let’s get spooky with some of June’s best horror screenings, old and new, happening in and around Phoenix.
