I found this article at Fangoria.com about an upcoming event that will be taking place in Channelside soon for Halloween! I hope you find it interesting!
October 1: Founder talks FL Halloweenpalooza horror fest
Festival founder and coordinator Rick Danford of Enigma Films contacted Fango to give us the details on his Halloweenapalooza 2007/Halloween Horror Picture Show, which runs October 19-20 in Tampa, FL. Produced in partnership with Channelside Cinemas and IMAX, the first annual Halloweenpalooza and fifth annual independent horror film festival will feature celebrity guests (including scream queen Tiffany Shepis and screenwriter/actor Trent Haaga) doing the signing-and-picture thing, trick-or-treating, a scavenger hunt, vendors, live music and more.
Danford says of the festivities, which kick off at 6 p.m. on Friday the 19th at Channelside Cinemas (615 Channelside Drive), “Every year, we try to bring to the Central Florida area the very best the indie horror world has to offer. We’ve featured films from all over the world, and many have made their festival debut with us. Our basic function is to provide an outlet for the indie horror filmmaker to screen his or her work in front of the fans and to also give them a chance to meet, greet and network with those fans, as well as other filmmakers.”
Films screening this year at HHPS07 include Marcus Koch’s killer-clown pic 100 TEARS (with the director set to introduce), Alan Rowe Kelly’s THE BLOOD SHED, Anthony Falcon’s 99 PIECES, Alex Orr’s BLOOD CAR, THE BUNKER (including a Q&A with Miami-based director Joe Monks), DEATH ON DEMAND (introduced by star Krista Grotte), GIMME SKELTER, GHOST MONTH, HOODOO FOR VOODOO (debut of a re-edited version), the titillating-sounding strippers-vs.-the-undead flick ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES!, a short film program and more.
“I am just a huge fan of the genre,” says Danford of his approach to the festival, “and I love giving as many of these hardworking filmmakers their chance to get some feedback and to allow their films to be seen by the people who appreciate them most. They deserve it.” For more info, visit the fest’s official site linked above. —Sean Decker
