The “Cannes” of Horror Comes to Ohio With Nightmares Film Festival
Two years have passed since the inaugural opening of Nightmares Film Festival (NFF), sponsored by iHorror, and it has continued to grow into one of the biggest and best collections of horror movies anywhere in the country.
Dare we say that it may be the “Cannes” of horror movies?
That may be a bold statement but just look at the lineup of films, world premieres and special guests they have scheduled for 2017.
Co-founder and festival programmer Jason Tostevin and his team have meticulously hand-selected each movie with the most devout horror fans in mind.
“At Nightmares, a program of the best and rarest indie genre films forms the heart of the experience,” said Tostevin. “We’re so excited to present our 2017 program, which is a truly one-of-a-kind collection of top horror films from around the globe.”
Our final addition is a #BetterHorror doozy.
We're proud to present the theatrical world premiere of the Duplass Bros'…

The fest will kick off with much-anticipated screenings of Victor Crowley – Adam Green’s secret Hatchet sequel, with Green in attendance – and one of 10 U.S. screenings of Leatherface, the newest installment in the Texas Chainsaw mythos.
In addition, the program boasts 11 world and North American premieres among its 25 total features, including the first-ever screening of Rock Paper Dead, which sees Tom Holland (Fright Night, Child’s Play) return to the feature film director chair after a 21-year hiatus. The film is co-written by Friday the13TH scribeVictor Miller and scored by Harry Manfredini.
The festival will also screen three shorts starring Melanie Gaydos (Insidious: The Last Key), a model and actress with a rare disorder, whose breakthrough into film and print is challenging the norms of both industries.
Notable shorts include an early disturbing film from Turkish director Can Evrenol (Baskin), To My Mother and Father, from; Polaroid, the short that inspired the upcoming feature film of the same name; and Teddy Bears Picnic, the directorial debut from lauded illustrator and movie poster designer “The Dude Designs” Tom Hodges (Hobo with a Shotgun, Frankenstein Created Bikers, Father’s Day).
Nightmares is held at the renowned Gateway Film Center in Columbus, Ohio, named a top-20 North American art house by Sundance and home to one of the last remaining tech and projectionist teams on earth. Film presentation is excellent there, and its three bars and branded undersea restaurant make for a comfortable four days of horror.
Nightmares Film Festival is from Thursday, October 19, 2017, to Sunday, October 22, 2017.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed
Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.
This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.
The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.
The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.
Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.
Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.

Exclusive Sneak Peek: Eli Roth and Crypt TV’s VR Series ‘The Faceless Lady’ Episode Five
Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.
Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.
Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.
So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.
Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?
The newest episode can be found on Meta Quest TV. If you haven’t already, follow this link to subscribe to the series. Make sure to check out the new clip below.
