Drunken Zombie Film Festival Alumni Update
The twisted sisters that brought Dead Hooker In A Trunk to film festivals across the country in 2010 are gearing up for thier new horror film American Mary in 2011. If Dead Hooker is any indication of the level of talent Jen and Sylvia Soska have then these twins are about to kick in the door on indie horror films. From their website:
From the creative team that brought you the indie-smash film Dead Hooker In A Trunk, American Mary is the story of a medical student named Mary who is growing increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the established doctors she once idolized. The allure of easy money sends a desperate Mary through the messy world of underground surgeries which leaves more marks on her than the so-called freakish cliental.
To learn more about the Soska Sisters and their crusade to bring women filmmakers into horror check out their website Twisted Twins Productions. To get a taste of what they have in store for us this year watch the American Mary teaser trailer below.

Horror Film Festivals Book Finally Submitted
Last year I began research on Horror Film Festivals and Awards, my followup book to Horror Film Aesthetics. This past Monday, I finally submitted the book to McFarland & Company. The book will likely be released in late 2011.
I expect Horror Film Festivals and Awards to be the definitive reference work in the field. I interviewed dozens of horror film festival directors for the book, and attended many of the festivals. The book includes an extensive directory of festivals, and a listing of all past award winners.
As for this blog, I plan to post notices and press releases from horror film festivals and awards (not all horror film awards are affiliated with a film festival), to keep readers current on their happenings. Although I run the Tabloid Witch Awards, I am eager to promote festivals other than my own.
