Halloween afternoon is an appropriate time for a horror movie festival to make a charitable donation.
That $2,800 donation was made to the Living Space homeless shelter by Eddie Levesque, one-man organizing committee of the Night Terrors Film Festival.
It ran every Friday night in October.
Living Space executive director Jason Sereda says the money will go to unfunded programs, like the shelter’s kitchen.
“We offer three meals a day, but it’s all donation based,” he tells My Timmins Now Dot Com. “So this will go a long way to buying food for that program.”
Levesque wants it known that the entire donation comes from festival attendees.
“We had the entire festival sponsored with our great local sponsorship,” he says. “But every dollar that we’re donating today are from the fans that supported the festival.”
93.1 Moose FM is a sponsor of Night Terrors.
