2012 Montreal HorrorFest
We just wrapped up a stunning weekend at the Montreal Art Tattoo Show in which, we will be bringing you shortly a glimpse at what took place during the event including a picture gallery of some of the fine folks getting inked on the spot, and a one on one video interview with a tattoo artist.
Now that is all over, we are soon getting ready to commence one the most-anticipated events held in Montreal that will finish off the summer with a heart-stopping bang, that is the 2012 Montreal ComicCon, and the birth of its supplement the M-HorrorFest. Are you still dubious on what’s happening, and when? You can check out the official ComicCon schedule here, and the list of horror films that will be playing at HorrorFest here.
Since the beginning of August, we have been keeping you fairly up-to-date with most of the announcements that pertain to HorrorFest including all the feature films that will be screened, and special guest appearances. One part that’s still left to conclude is the short movie program that will be playing in between feature films.
Here is the first half of those details, and we will post the rest as they come available very soon.
