The Fantastic and Horror Film Marathon of Sants, Hostafrancs and La Bordeta is a historical event of the associative fabric of the Sants neighborhood that this year reaches its 35th edition. Its main and peculiar distinctive value is that attendees make comments, even shouting, while the films are projected. This behavior has become a tradition that is part of the show, and is accepted with the idea of making the rest of the audience laugh. Although sometimes offensive remarks are heard, the organization encourages the audience to express their comments in a constructive way. This year, however, they have clearly announced that sexist, racist and LGTBIphobic comments will not be tolerated.

Selection of fantastic and horror films of all times of the so-called Z series. This year we will be able to see:
Movies in the Auditorium and in Room B
On Saturday, November 23, the longest night will be celebrated, with screenings of fantasy and horror films until 5 in the morning. This year, the longest night will pay tribute to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which celebrates its 50th anniversary. So we can look forward to a night full of slashers, chainsaws, knives, blood, screams and escapes, which will fill the big screen of the Cocheras Auditorium and Room B. We will also have films that can be seen for the first time in our country on the big screen and, of course and as always, lots of humor.
