Because we all go a little MAD sometimes...

For the love of horror, and serving it up on a dish to the Madison, WI community...

Independent Horror... sometimes these are the films that are not allowed to go mainstream.. sometimes, they are just hidden gems, and other times, they are films that are not yet discovered. You never know when you support indie film, what you will find, but we scour through hours and hours of films to find the best in indie horror to show.

We are MADTOWN HORROR and we are all MAD here.
