BREAKING: February Will No Longer Be Official WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH; Organizers Encourage Year-Round Recognition
This Women in Horror Month is unique for many reasons: It’s happening during a pandemic and during an era of intense social change. This will also be the last official Women in Horror Month.
Organizers made the announcement this morning; you can read an excerpt below and their full statement, HERE.
As of March 1, 2021, there will no longer be an official WiHM organization. Along with that, we’ve found that not only is there enough content, traffic, and engagement for one month, we believe there is enough to take celebrations year-round.
We would like to encourage the community to choose their own month to celebrate. The month that best fits their projects. February, March, October…doesn’t matter. Leverage the reach you all have created by using the WiHM hashtag. Create your own groups and communities. Throw your own events (when it’s safe to do so).
We’re interested in hearing your thoughts as we plan on examining the history and significance of Women in Horror Month in more detail. Let us know what you think in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram! You can also carry on the convo with me personally on Twitter @josh_millican.
