Well, you could have seen them too if you didn’t disappear for most of the weekend :)

I really need to see Trick ‘r Treat too, plus I bought a few bad zombie movies in HMV’s 4 for £20 deal. Another movie marathon at mine? :D

Still haven’t caught up on my sleep though, roll on the weekend!

Great summary and major props to you for seeing every flick possible. (I’ve already got Trick ‘r Treat on order – that is definitely the film that everyone is talking about. That and Millenium, maybe.)

This is a nice quick summary of the festival, saves me wading through reviews and features about films only to find out that they are trash.

Pity about Giallo though. Assume that’s the upcoming Argento movie? I thought he’d found his horror feet again after the Masters of Horror episodes he directed (Jennifer and Pelts, they were awesome!). Pity.

Also, must say that of all the Zombie movies on that list Zombie Women of Satan must be at the top of my priority list. Can’t see how a film with a title like that will be poor. (The trailer for La Horde does look good though).

Envious of you going to this fest. I usually bookmark that weekend for Reading Festival, but at 30 years old I’m about 12 years to old for that malarky. Will have to head down next year.

Yeah, missed Trick ‘r Treat but that’s coming out on DVD pretty soon as well, so might get a chance to see it.

Creepshow 2 was a defining horror film of mine growing up (assuming I’m thinking of the right film) with the lake blob thing and the hitcher maybe? (“Thanks for the ride lady, thanks for the ride!”)

I’ll have full reviews of the zombie films up soon.

No mention of Trick ‘r Treat in your list, which I’m assuming you missed in favour of Pontypool. That film is going to be in a lot of people’s top 5 lists, including mine. I personally thought it was the strongest film there. A brilliant tribute to the funny/scary horrors of the eighties like Creepshow, and it can’t be that bad if it’s got the support of John Landis!
