I stopped by our local NPR station and chatted with them about the upcoming film festival.  Go on over and give it a listen on their website.

Bryan On NPR!

Even though we’re less than a week from the film festival we’re still adding guests whose movies will be screening at the festival.

Our promotional push is still in full effect and with Halloween just around the corner we’re getting some nice buzz from media places looking to promote some spooky happenings.  We are in the local paper The Peoria Journal Star with an awesome write up about the film festival.  Check it out:

DZFF in The Peoria Journal Star!

So for the film festival we’re getting the word out as much as we can about the film festival this year and have had a few chances to promote the film festival.  First up is an awesome promo for the film festival with the MC of the festival Lord Blood-Rah.

And next up we stopped by the WMBD This Morning Show to promote the film festival.  Wes and Randy chat about some of the films they are looking forward to.  Stop on over at their website and check it out:

Wes and Randy on WMBD This Morning.

Some more guests have been added to the film festival.

Basically these are the people that will be on hand to do Q&As after their films.  Which is why I included myself.  Yeah I’m that egocentric.

And here we go.  These five films will complete our line up for this year.  Going to be a great year everyone.  First up:

Toxic Lullaby is the story of Eloise, who wakes up in a destroyed, life-threatening world after a bad drug trip. Separated from her friends, she learns to survive in a bizarre reality. The world around her is chaotic. She learns that this situation originated in a financial crisis and the following speculations about the last food recourses – and the complete destruction of the latter. In addition, the use of biological weapons spread a virus among the human species – causing them to become dangerous mutants (sleepers).  In this desperate situation, she joins a group of people, who, like her, are motivated by the longing to flee this nightmare.

 

On the darkest night of the year, when Satan is allowed free reign to walk the earth, a motley crew of Satanists kidnap a sharp tongued southern waitress to be a given up as the Dark One’s bride and mortal host of the antichrist.   But when her rowdy redneck friends botch up the ritual in a violent rescue attempt, all of hell’s fury is inadvertently transferred into the most unlikely of hosts: a sacrificed chicken!  Now, the Satanists and Rednecks battle one another as an evil most fowl threatens to swallow their souls and transform them into a demonic army of the walking dead!  Who will survive the terror of Zombeak!?

 

Have you ever talked on your cell phone in a movie theater?  If so beware as someone may come to take revenge when you least expect it.

 

A short tale of the undead. It’s the little things that getcha.

 

Le Blanc C’est Le Meilleur:

When you are a zombie used to eating businessmen on prestigious golf courses and that you have never come across a black man, you might think twice before eating a lost wanderer with darker skin … But cooking is yet again a field of discovery and creativity… So … let’s forget about habits and fork out !

There is no trailer for this so enjoy this weird video that has french zombies in it.

There have been a few first person horror films lately but none as fun as The Feed.  This is a Do Not Miss film in this year’s line up.

Having secured what appears to be the ultimate venue in the form of the historic Brenway Movie Theatre, the Ghost Chasers, a team of reality TV paranormal investigators, are confident that their annual live broadcast will be one of their best shows to date. However, when the sleepy Central Pennsylvania movie house turns out to be a bit more active than they had anticipated, the prospect of record-breaking ratings quickly takes a back seat to the basest of all human instincts: Survival.

 

We love having variety at our film festival and we loved this fun little animated zombie short.

The problems with zombies are explored in this fun little animated zombie short.

At the film festival we like to showcase local films when we can.  This awesome short film has a homeless guy versus a vampire Lincoln.

And lastly we have an episode of the upcoming web series from our friends over at Deadlantern.com.  Our own Uncle Randy stars in this one.

So I’m happy to announce that we’re adding two more sponsors to the film festival this year.  Both these awesome movie companies are donating some great prizes for giveaways.  First up is the awesome Asylum and next is Chemical Burn.  Both are donating some great giveaway prizes.  So if you get a chance stop by and give their sites a look.  Tell them how much you love that they are supporting indie horror films.
