Synopsis

GIRT BY FEAR is a six-part comedy-horror web series about the strange and supernatural terrors lurking in the suburbs of Sydney. We follow a group of twentysomethings on their way to a Halloween party they’ll never forget. Arrive dressed as Ivan Milat or Pauline Hanson? Bring a six pack of VB or a box of fruity lexia? There are hard choices to be made and clicking ‘going’ is not always as simple it seems.
