FILM: TALES OF THE MACABRE It’s Halloween night 1984, and a late-night radio host is telling the legend of the Crimson Witch … only to begin questioning whether the story is becoming reality. Such is the premise of Las Vegas-based filmmaker James Steele Haney’s short film Tales of the Macabre, which will premiere at THIRD Street. Produced by Shh Studios, the indie horror flick does a lot in a little time—developing character, building tension and sprinkling in vintage aesthetics along the way while exploring themes of isolation, obsession and the fragile line before storytelling and truth. Before the premiere, guests can expect a red carpet experience, cocktail hour, and haunting decor at Downtown’s up-and-coming theater incubator and event space. 8:25 & 9:30 p.m., free with RSVP, THIRD Street, crowdwork.com/e/tales-of-the-macabre. –Shannon Miller
