The InFEST Underground screening series is hosting an epic night of dark and twisted short films, plus the acclaimed Brazilian horror flick Beyond the Grave, directed by Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro.

Beyond the Grave, a post-apocalyptic zombie western, has been tearing it up on the underground film festival circuit the past few years, winning the Best Horror Film award at the Arizona Underground Film Festival, and screening at the Montreal Underground and at the B-Movie, Underground and Trash Film Festival. In the film, a police officer in a desolate wasteland filled with freaks tracks down a possessed serial killer. Watch the trailer below!

But, before the feature presentation, is a 98-minute block of short films from a few of the masters of the form, including Brian Lonano, Kevin Lonano, Carey Burtt and more. The full lineup and descriptions of the shorts is below:
