HorrorSociety.com is proud to announce our second indie horror film festival…and this time its gonna be a brutal one!

We pulled off the first one in Cincinnati, Ohio. One of the most conservative cities in the midwest! Now its time to unleash the HORROR in the city of Chicago!

From NOON until MIDNIGHT the Portage Theater will be drenched in Blood and Gore as we present the “Horror Society Film Festival”

This festival will bring you titles never before seen on the big screen, and hell some of them probably should be outlawed, but we have strong stomachs here at HorrorSociety and we are big fans of GORE. So we have decided to give these filmmakers their shot and get these titles shown to the public. Most of the films that will be shown are filled with the most extreme horror, special effects, brutal and ultra-violent storylines, and some shit that just has to be seen and can never truly be explained.

We are unleashing the GORE on Chicago, so be prepared! And yes, with every ticket purchased, you will receive you own BARF BAG, just in case you need it!!

2disc sideb Horror Society Film Festival Lineup Darkness – The Vampire Version (1983)
Horror Cult Classic From the 1980’s

Synopsis:
“Enter DARKNESS: THE VAMPIRE VERSION, a two-disc, digitally remastered set with more goodies than you can shake a crucifix at. …you’ll find yourself cheering these besieged survivors to safety. It’s much the same feeling people got the first time they saw THE EVIL DEAD — and I’m not talking about when it first came on video. It’s so enjoyable, that I actually found myself thinking that Jonker would be the perfect guy to do 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. Just a thought, but I think he could pull it off. Now, however, you can have the film in a format that does it and its cast and crew justice. Do yourself a favor, horror fans, and get this ASAP if you don’t already have it in your hot little hands.” Rating: 3.5 out of 4 STARS! – Doug Brunell – FILM THREAT
