Today Screamfest L.A. is the largest horror film festival in Los Angeles. A glitzy, high-profile event with Hollywood support. But back in 2001, at its first annual screening, Screamfest L.A. was still a small event.
A forerunner in this past decade's horror film festival boom, that first annual Screamfest was something of a historic event (at least for anyone who cares about horror film history). I'm proud to say I was there, reviewing those early Screamfest films for Horrorfind.com.
Ten years is a long time on the web, and Horrorfind has long since removed its film reviews (including mine). But now my report on the first annual Screamfest L.A. is available once again -- at Communist Vampires.
