SHRIEKFEST & NEXT WEEKEND AT EERIE IN ERIE!

Phew!  October is the horror film festival season and what a blast we're having! 

SHRIEKFEST in Hollywood was fantastic today with Dark Reel cast members Tony Todd, Jeffrey Vincent Parise, Matt Bushell, Jake Grace, Barry Ford, Jim Kaufman (Opiate for the Masses) and writer Aaron Pope showing up for the screening.  After -- how long has it been? --  six months without any rain it looked like today would be the day for real weather in LA.  The temperature dropped.  It drizzled a little in the morning but by showtime, the sun was shining.  It's great to have a hometown festival where travel time doesn't involve a trip to LAX.  Thanks to Denise and Todd for a well-organized good time and there's still more Sunday!

Next weekend is the well-regarded EERIE HORROR FILM FESTIVAL.  Greg Ropp is another special film festival director dedicated to celebrating independent horror films.  Dark Reel screens at 7:00, Saturday October 11.  For all horror fans in the tri-city area (do they call it that?) of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Erie, you have no choice but to take time out from what you'd otherwise be doing and show up at the magnificent Warner Theater.  Do you even realize how fortunate you are to have a classic movie palace like this in your turf?  They will have several horror genre greats on hand including Rodrigo Gudino of Rue Morgue and Sid Haig. 

See you there!
