A favourite quote on the horror genre
“Horror as a genre, when it’s done honestly, when it’s done with serious intent, will naturally be open to the traumas of the world in ways that other genres aren’t and can’t be. Somehow by being focused on what disturbs us, especially if it’s being done by somebody who’s sort of determined to search their own soul for what’s disturbing….then it will naturally convey truths – universal ones, or at least national ones.”
Adam Simon – writer/director of the documentary The American Nightmare.
Crypticon Seattle was a blast!
We had an awesome time at Crypticon Seattle this year! The HIKE screening and Q&A went great. Thanks to everyone who came out to the TCIF3 screening and for all the questions – it was our first time being at a public screening of HIKE and it couldn’t have gone better! The icing on the cake was meeting Don Coscarelli! As a horror lover it just doesn’t get better than that. Phantasm is one of my favourite movies ever and meeting Coscarelli was super exciting. He was extremely generous with both his time and advice – he is one super cool dude! I’d like to say a big thank you to Eric Morgret for all his help – we had a blast!
