Fright Night Film FestivalLouisville, Kentucky (Home) Drive-In Horrorshow director Michael Neel and Joe Lemieux, Zombie Frank himself, were in Louisville, Kentucky for Fright Night Film Fest from June 29 to July 1. This was the first stop on our fiendish cross-country film tour, and it was a honor to have our film play alongside so many other great horror flicks at this festival. Our booth was packed for the entire weekend, and we enjoyed meeting so many of our fans and making some new ones as well.
Thanks to all that showed up for the screening on Saturday night - it was superb crowd. Even though it was hot as hell outside, a chill ran through the theater. This crowd really got into The Watcher - perhaps it's the summertime vibe? Or maybe the hot weather makes people think of blood, gore, and scares? There were too many great films at the festival to mention in this blog. You'll find tons of bloody, nasty films - good for all you wonderful sickos out there.
Disney animator and director Frank Dietz won the best documentary award for his film "Beast Wishes". The film takes a heartfelt look at the fascinating world of Bob and Kathy Burns, an amazing couple who nurtured some of the best and most influential people in sci-fi/fantasy filmmaking, such as Joe Dante, director of The Howling and Gremlins, and Dennis Muren, an FX master for The Empire Strikes Back and Jurassic Park. This is a must-watch for any genre fan.
Drive-In Horrorshow director Michael Neel was thrilled that "The Dead Inside" screened at Fright Night. This is one of Michael's favorite films of 2011, and lead actress Sarah Lassez was Michael's pick for Best Actress in his 2012 Forgotten Oscars. The Dead Inside is one of the most original and creative horror films in years, and is highly recommended.
We were delighted that the anthology horror film "Psycho Street" screened at the convention, featuring our good friends Marv Blauvelt and Alan Rowe Kelly. Marv co-wrote and co-produced the film, and Alan Rowe Kelly was fabulous as always in the segment "Hypochondriac". Fright Night had a ton of fantastic vendors selling all sorts of wild stuff; we had to take away Zombie Frank's wallet because he was spending way too much and had to eat worms for dinner (not that he minded too much). Drive-In Graphics, run by Scott Ford, had an incredible collection of movie memorabilia from classic horror to the modern day, Carrie Garrison was selling some terrifyingly tasty treats at her Sinister Sweets booth, and Jill Van Voorst had an awesome array of horror shirts, beer cozies, coasters, and more at her LIX Online vendor booth.
Legendary mask maker Don Post, the Godfather of Halloween masks had a great display. Don Post Studios is most famous for creating rubber masks for commercial sale and use in movies, including Star Wars and Halloween film series.
All in all it was a fantastic weekend and a great start to our Film Tour, filled with good fun, old and new friends, and people just as crazy about horror films as we are! Next stop on the Drive-In Horrorshow Film Tour: Monster Mania on August 17-19th in Cherry Hill, NJ. See you there if you're not too scared!
