HorrorFest

April 20-22, 2012 – Denver Colorado

The following information is from our 2011 convention

HorrorFest consists of five rooms presenting three days of horror programming with a little something for everyone. HorrorFest explores all aspects of the horror genre including, film, music, literature, art, haunted houses, and the paranormal. Our guests include musicians, actors, authors, producers, artists, directors, film companies, paranormal researchers, haunt industry professionals, and much more. The programming includes two film rooms, a room devoted exclusively to independent horror, a panel meeting room with diverse programming, an independent film company room (where you can meet the people bringing new life to the horror industry), and a horror extras room where all kinds of fun happens.

HorrorFest kicks off with a Friday night charity event complete with live music performances, an opportunity to mingle with our horror guests, and you’ll have a chance to try your luck winning some amazing prizes in our charity raffle.

The Friday night charity event this year is hosted by The Loud Idiots and will feature musical performances by Jonathan Tiersten, David Fagan, and A Melodic Daydream.  At 10:00pm after the raffle, we are hosting two very special events. 

In Panel Room 1 we will host the World Premier Screening of Killer Ink with a Q&A afterwards with the movie’s cast and crew – including one of the film’s stars, Peter Mayhew. 

In the Indie Film Room you can catch a special screening of Battle Royale with commentary and discussion afterwards hosted by Screengeeks own Dave Minkus.

At midnight, we invite you to join us in Horror Video Room for a special screening of Reefer Madness, the Musical.

In deference to our late-night "Nocturnal Activities," HorrorFest Saturday events don’t start until 10:00am. Make sure you check the convention schedule for the complete list of films, panels and events that will keep you busy well into the night.

The Horror Video Room will be featuring “frighteningly funny”  horror films all day – into night for your enjoyment. Everything from Young Frankenstein to Shawn of the Dead.

The Saturday Horror Panels include events for everyone. Kreepy Kids Krafts in the morning, a special tribute and Q&A with Jeffrey Combs - the star of the Re-Animator films, special Haunted House Professional panels, Horror writers and producers, Paranormal Research discussions, and much more.

Our Sunday Horror Video track is totally dedicated to Jeffrey Combs: The Frighteners, Re-Animator, Bride of Re-Animator, and Beyond Re-Animator.

Sunday panels include: How to Hoax a Paranormal Event, Horror Trivia, Why are Zombies so popular, and a fun Make-up demo from the local professional Zombie haunted house – City of the Dead.
