Horse-Being and Phenome-Con

Of all the choices of SpectreFest; it always intrigues me of not only picking horror films, but also weird wtf films. The top one I can't look away from is Horse-Being, a horror film in a sense in tone with the un-likability and grossness of furry culture. In the film, a fifty-year old Parisian man comes to America for pony-training, to become a horse. He dresses and acts like a horse. And gets trained by an old cowboy that looks straight out of a commercial banned on selling you cigarettes.

It's so awful, yet I want to watch, it's everything The Greasy Strangler was needing. The trailer of the film already shows it has heart on the very f*&ked idea of becoming a horse.

As mentioned in another post a sub-event within SpectreFest is Phenome-Con, four events on different phenomenon where ghosts, bigfoot and a tie-in to the new stupid Ouija board movie is taking place. The trailer was released and the footage is golden mind-stopping wood to burn.

Off all the events for SpectreFest, Phenome-Con's Other Evil seems like it will be the funniest.

Sadly, no trailer was cut yet because...I don't know kind of dumb not to cut any trailer for your film. However, the idea of a modern day ghost catcher being an idiot sounds like fun.
 
Synopsis:
Let’s take everything we know about the haunted vacation house story (hip couple retreats toward luxe isolation, eschewing high-demand jobs for pine-soaked serenity and the presence of lingering dead, yada yada), and throw it out the damn(ed) window. There’s nothing that could prepare us for first-time feature writer/director Carson D. Mell’s what-the-fuckomedy Another Evil, as architectural photography and literary wit wear away to reveal a taut and disturbing nexus of fear; and when Dan (Steve Zissis) and his arty nuclear family employ a decorated “ghost assassin” to purify their mountain hideaway from pesky spooks, Dan soon finds he may be beholden to more than just what goes bump in the night.
