Monstrous Me is a documentary that harnesses the rich and untold power of horror as a way of reckoning with disability identity through cinematic monsters. We’re asking for a small donation of just $6.66 to help us get the funding we need to bring it to life.

White and black text reads “Make a donation of $6.66 to Monstrous Me” on a red background. A blood-splattered ornate gold frame surrounds the text and hangs on a dark flowered wallpaper.

“At Access:HORROR we have expansive definitions of both disability and horror. Not everything here is likely to scare you, but hopefully taken together as a whole it will help you think differently about both disability and horror.” – Ariel Baska, creator of Access:HORROR

These aren’t your typical slasher, killer clown, monster movies; they’re truth-telling, often funny films that feel good to watch with your people.

A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the classics that informs and inspires us here at Access:Horror, so of course it had to be the first must-watch recommendation as we jump into October. ❤️📺

Scary season is officially here! As we kick off October, we’re asking for something small but powerful. Would you consider donating just $6.66 to help bring Monstrous Me, to life?

Thank you for supporting independent horror, accessibility, and equity in film. ❤️

As Ariel said in their opening remarks, Access:Horror is not yet the ceiling for what is possible, but we’re always doing what we can to get there, and we’ll continue to grow bigger and better and even more inclusive in the years to come.
