 The real beauty of FrightFest is the diversity of films that are shown. Today for example we have psycho woodland action (Rogue River), chilling suspense (The Holding and The Glass Man, pictured), a celebration of an underrated filmmaker (Larry Fessenden) and a cheeky tribute to classic slashers (Tucker & Dale Vs Evil).
Hard to choose a stand out amongst these so will just have to try them all out!
One item that went really well last year was the discussion on censorship and this year we have American Horror: A Panel Discussion where the aforementioned Fessenden will be joined on stage by Ti West, Lucky McKee, Adam Green, Joe Lynch and Andrew van den Houten to discuss the state of American horror. That should be a real highlight as these guys are at the forefront of horror film making.
We're also promised another tribute to John Carpenter short movie today, if its anything like Jake West's from last night then we're in for a real treat.
Now going to fight my way through the FrightFest goodie bag queue!
