Here’s an original idea from Old School Sinema. Take a bunch of horror fans at a convention, walk around and videotape them, then kill them off one by one, and you got yourself a flick!! “The Horror Convention Massacre” is just that film.
Shot guerilla style at a real horror convention, Joe Ostrica (writer/director/producer) and his crew from Old School got an idea for a film simply from being a fan of the genre. After numerous trips to conventions, this idea of using the fans of horror movies and truly bringing them into the film by using them in the film was born. This one is sure to please the fans that also dig “similar shot” horror classics like “Blair Witch” and “El Mariachi”, but with enough violence, gore, and nudity to please any and all fans of the true 70’s and early 80’s slasher flicks.
Ostrica and company shot an exploitation indie slasher film on a shoestring budget with a high concept: a maniac is on the loose knocking off guests and fans at a horror convention. By doing this they landed some big names for cameos, including Lew Temple (“The Devil’s Rejects,” the upcoming “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning”), Ari Lehman (the original Jason from “Friday the 13th”) and indie icon Lloyd Kaufman of Troma fame.
This film will be screening at the Cinema Wasteland Horror Convention in Cleveland OH October 6-8. You will find me (DrGore) and Sammaeal there to witness the carnage and chaos that is “The Horror Convention Massacre”!! Hopefully we won’t be unsuspecting guinea pigs, being round up and conned into watching this, then actually be a part of the sequel….if so, this might be my last article!! Stay tuned for an interview with Joe from Old School Sinema soon.
