Norman Magden's award-winning short experimental film Cafe doesn't have a trailer online, but I saw this film last year at the Vampire Film Festival in New Orleans, and it's beautifully shot and very striking. A must see!

I currently have two of my own short films in the program. One is a three minute film called aftershock, which doesn't have a trailer, and the other is Without/Within, the trailer for which is below. I'm not too proud to put my own films in a festival I'm programming, but I will move / remove them should the demands of running time press on me. Check back closer to showtime to see if they're still in or not!

Without/Within by Sarasota, Florida filmmaker Lori Bowen

Screening at the festival!!

We here at Hallowscreen are aware that there's more to cinematic horror than sharp-toothed prowlers of the night and are proud to announce that we've been given the opportunity to screen two feature-length zombie films and a short film that is probably the best adaptation to date of an H.P. Lovecraft story!

Horror movies wouldn't be the same without some of the wacky, weird, and wildly wonderful B-movies that make up a huge and popular part of the genre's history and the actresses who help bring them to life. To that end, the Hallowscreen Film Festival honors Scream Queen Brinke Stevens as our first Queen of Hallowscreen! With the very generous help of Full Moon Features, we bring you one of the films Ms. Stevens herself is proud of, one that she herself picked as one of her favourites out of the over 100 films she’s been in: Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama from 1988.

When a college initiation ceremony goes wrong, three sorority pledges are told to go steal a trophy from a local bowling alley. Aiding them in their quest are the three frat boys who got them into trouble in the first place. During their larceny, the trophy is destroyed releasing an evil, wish-granting imp who proceeds to cause mayhem and murder amongst the unfortunate students.

The film is gory and chock-a-block full of nudity, it is rated R after all so make sure you bring your ID, but it's also a hilarious send up of the genre and of itself. The film also stars Ms. Stevens' fellow Scream Queen Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead) and Andreas Jones (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.) Unfortunately, Ms. Stevens will not be in attendance.

RATED R. 1h 20m
