SpectreFest Back To Scare Butt

Halloween starts early here in LA, Universal and Knott's will have their scare nights open next month. Starting extra early too, SpectreFest from SpectreVision the studio from owners Daniel Noah, Josh C. Waller and Elijah Wood.  The third year of SpectreFest has more special screenings of horror films with special guests from said films in attendance. Accompanying the scares are special musical performances with many a live score performance nights, a classic of The Cinefamily where the screenings will take place.

It's mind boggling at the collectionsof films they have gotten for the two month program of, not just horror, but sheer absurdity. It's absurd to think of any night during October to be filled with so much entertainment in a small theater on Hollywood.

Starting it off is the much anticipated Cooties, starring Elijah Wood, this film has been done for a while now, in fact many thought it would screen at last year's SpectreFest. Teachers Vs zombie kids anyone?

Goodnight Mommy was firstshown in LA at AFI Fest, know it returns with it's next chilling screening in LA at SpectreFest and then will have a limited run. Funny, it's playing again the next night at the Nuarte with the same special guests if you miss SpectreFest's 9/10  

Directors Severin Fiala
& Veronika Franz
