Horror Film Festivals Become More Edgy, Fun
You’ve probably heard of the AfterDark Horrorfest and while it’s been out for about 4 years, you know that the movies aren’t exactly the highest quality nor do they work with the best budget, but since 2006, there has been an influx of horror and science fiction movie festivals that are popping up. In fact, since 2006 there has been a 35 percent rise in the numbers of official horror film festivals all across the world. Horror and Science Fiction, for the most part, has taken on an edgier side. What wasn’t allowed in 2001 is allowed now. More graphic styles of kills (Saw), disturbing story lines (Deranged), and post-modernistic sadistically strange (Three Extemes), are a norm and other countries are catching on, if not exceeding the United States. Below is a list of some of the horror festivals for 2010 where you can find unique types of horror and creativity:
- October 10-18
- FREAK SHOW Horror Film Festival (Orlando, Florida, USA)
- October 15-17
- Big Bear Horror Film Festival (Big Bear Lake, CA, USA)
- October 19-23
- Terror Film Festival (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA)
- October 30
- British Horror Film Festival (Poole, UK)
- October 30-31
- Horror UK´s 28 Hours Later (Farham, UK)
- November 5
- Shockfest Film Festival (Hollywood, California, USA)
You never know what kinds of nuggets you’ll find at these festivals, if any, but it wouldn’t hurt to check it out and see what direction some of the directors are taking. You’ll be pleasantly surprised, I think. Of course there are other festivals this year. If you want to find one near you, do a local search and book your tickets soon. These things have a way of selling out fast.
