We're back! After the great success of our first event, an appropriate period to recover, and a few setbacks (our previous venue was sold to property developers), we're delighted to announce the second incarnation! Bigger! Gorier! Saturday-er! This time in a proper cinema - so no more spending three hours taping garbage bags to the windows of an art gallery for us! :-) And we've also moved the event to the weekend proper, by popular demand.
With your host, Count Smokula and special guest performers, The Strange Family Circus and their freak show feats, the event promises to entertain you all day and night!
We will be showcasing several feature length Horror Films and a number of Horror Shorts.
Several categories will be juried:
Best Feature
Best Short
Audience Favorite
Winners will receive a distribution contract by our Presenting Sponsor
And awards will be presented in all categories
Where: Chandler Cinemas, 2140 N. Arizona Ave, Chandler When: Saturday, August 30th: Noon-2am
We are currently sorting through the entries, and we expect to announce the first accepted films in early July.
