    Many people are afraid of insects. Many people are afraid of scary movies. Many people would like those things to stay separate, but luckily there are plenty of people who want to see those two things combined. Luckily for those people, the 26th Annual Insect Fear Film Festival is happening this Saturday the 28th at Foellinger Auditorium. Each year the festival has a different theme and this year it is Centipede Cinema, with movies showcasing the many legged insect. Included in the festival is a insect petting zoo, as well as an Art Contest which invited students from local schools to show off their insect drawing skills.

    Here is a schedule of events:

    i think this is just an adorable idea. i wish it was longer and that they'd play a bug's life, ants, and like... tremors.

    I think they may have played Bug's Life and Antz before.

    And dammit, I always miss this festival but I always want to go.
