What is HorrorFest 2009, and what can you expect from it?
An introduction and an explanation of my plan for October
If you know what movie this image is from, you're going to enjoy HorrorFest here on Motion/Captured
Welcome to HorrorFest 2009.
And what, pray tell, is HorrorFest?
Well, I love October. I love horror movies in general. I think horror is a genre that is deeply under-respected, and every October for the last few years, I've tried to dedicate a block of time to the discussion of horror films, both new and old, and this year's no different. I'm going to talk about films I've seen at festivals, films I've been sent on DVD or BluRay, and films you should simply track down if you're throwing a Halloween party of your own. Expect daily content for the month, even while I'm on the road, which I will be for another week.
I'll have the first title up in just a few, which will also be part of my ongoing Fantastic Fest coverage.
HorrorFest 2009 runs every day of October 2009.

Thanks for lending some of your Gravitas to the genre Drew.
