Greg Lamberson and Emil Novak, co-founders of The Buffalo Screams Film Festival are definitely on their way to mastering the formula. They’ve put together a program highlighting local films, national films, and international films, of all shapes and sizes. The venue is a great choice, a perfectly sized independent theater called The Screening Room. Another great thing about Buffalo Screams is the audience, many of whom are filmmakers themselves, whether or not they have work screening in the festival.

Horror Yearbook is currently attending the Second Annual Buffalo Screams Film Festival. The event kicked off last night with a pretty impressive lineup of movies. The best film of the night was Absentia — which is the best mindfuck flick I’ve seen since Christopher Smith’s Triangle.

There’s something eerie going on in Buffalo. And this Halloween, it’s the place to be. Not only is it a haven for massive, elaborate haunted houses, the past few years the horror film community has been nothing short of booming. Last year HYB attended the first annual Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival, and came back [...]

We’ve got another entry in the October run of genre festivals, The Everybody Dies Horror Film Fest in Orange County, CA. This one goes for a sweet, short two days from October 21st to the 22nd. It looks like a nice smattering of slick short films with a few features thrown in the mix. This could be a really fun little event.

For those of you keeping score of HYB’s daily Shriekfest round up, three very different films impressed us.

Over the course of the Shriekfest International Horror Sci Fi festival this writer has watched puppies being chewed up, mutant babies ripped from wombs, a man’s head cleaved in half, an elderly couple chain-sawed to pieces, and alt rock musical numbers. Even after all that, nothing has left me as upset as the climatic image of the festival’s final film did: a single sneaker left in the middle of the street.

The second night of the Shriekfest 2011 International Horror Sci-Fi film festival offered an eclectic mix of zombies, subterranean pet munching monsters, motorcycle helmeted psychopaths, mobsters, rape and the occasional musical number. Kudos to festival organizer Denise Gossett and staff for programming such a diverse night of genre fun.

The opening night of Shriekfest screenings happened to coincide with the first Los Angeles rainfall of the season. That didn’t dampen the excitement for the fans who filled The Chaplin Screening Room at Raleigh Studious in Hollywood.

Paying a lot of money to pay for autographs or sitting through boring Q&As to listen to people ask horror actors, “what’s your favorite horror movie” is not my idea of a good time. Horror conventions are not as fun as they used to be. Fans getting together to watch movies or hunt down collectibles has been replaced by celebrity whoring and other useless crap made popular by Creation Entertainment.
Maybe the Aliens to Zombies convention in Hollywood is just more of the same stuff, but it doesn’t sound like it. The two day-long convention held by special effects artist Todd Masters, founder of MASTERSFX, and Bruce Haring, founder of JM Northern Media, sounds more geared towards horror fans, than people who want to stand in line to meet Bruce Campbell.
