East Coast Premiere of Dream Eater at Broomdance International Film Festival - Screening + Q&A

The East Coast Premiere of Eli Roth Presents: Dream Eater, the most anticipated found-footage horror film of 2025, will screen at Cinema Salem as part of the Broomdance International Film Festival, founded by Johnny Hickey, in Salem, Massachusetts, the Halloween Capital of the USA. Following the screening, the filmmakers behind Dream Eater will host an exclusive Q&A moderated by Chuck Shaughnessy.

In Dream Eater, a documentary filmmaker captures her boyfriend’s violent parasomnia during a cabin retreat in the snowy Laurentian mountains. As his sleepwalking worsens, she uncovers a decades-long mystery steeped in trauma and the occult—awakening an ancient evil that threatens to consume them both. By the end, audiences will be left questioning who they’re really sleeping next to at night. (In theaters nationwide October 24).

Now in its most ambitious year yet, Broomdance International Film Festival brings three days of horrifyingly fun programming to Salem, including movie premieres, live performances, networking events, paranormal exploration, and more—drawing in national television networks, A-list talent, leading influencers, and widely recognized podcasters.
