The third annual Astrophobia Science Fiction and Horror Film Festival will be held on Saturday, Oct. 14th and Sunday, Oct. 15th at the Masonic Lodge in Cumberland.

In terms of features, this year will be a screening the folk-horror classic “The Wicker Man” at 3pm on Saturday, and a Turkish film called “Once a Time in the Future 2121” (the first Turkish sci-fi feature film directed by a woman), on Sunday at 3pm.
