Philip Anselmo’s Housecore Horror Film Festival Releases Even More Horror Film Screenings

SPONSOR-PROPOSAL-PG-3-GUEST-DIRECTORS

Having already released horror heavy details including live scores from Goblin and Attila Csihar of Mayhem; appearances by underground horror directing legends Jim VanBebber, Jorg Buttgereit, and Jose Mojica Marins (AKA Coffin Joe); the North American Premiere of THE PROFANE EXHIBIT – the most highly anticipated horror anthology film since TRILOGY OF TERROR; and screening the greatest slate of grindhouse flicks ever on 35mm (EVIL DEAD, THE BEYOND, et al.), Philip Anselmo and Corey Mitchell now unveil their latest tricks of cinematic terror.

Housecore™ Horror Film Festival (HHFF) co-founder Mitchell says of the latest batch of films announcements: “We wanted to stay away from the usual horror and genre film festival selections in our first year. It’s important to separate ourselves from the masses and Philip and I believe we have done exactly that with these highly original, independent horror and heavy metal films.”

HHFF takes place October 24-27 at various Austin locations including Emo’s, Antone’s, The Buzz Mill, and Dirty Dog. In addition to more than 100 films, shorts, music videos, and trailers, HHFF also has four days of concerts featuring acts such as Down, GWAR, Pig Destroyer, Hate Eternal, Whitechapel, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Goatwhore, Crowbar, and, many more.

Housecore Horror Film Festival today announces 15 more film screenings, including four world premiers, and several regional and Texas premiers:

ART/CRIME (Canada, 2012)

Regional Premiere
Dir. Frédérick Maheux, 104 mins

A documentary about violence, horror, censorship, and legislation on the web. In 2009, Remy Couture, a special effects makeup artist from Quebec, was arrested by the police in front of his home and would be later charged with obscenity and corruption of morality. Montreal’s police was responding to a complaint regarding pictures coming from his website Inner depravity.com which had been freely circulating on the Web. ART/CRIME discusses violence, fiction, and censorship in movies but also in the loosely regulated environment that the Web still represents. The documentary allows many, like movie director Nacho Cerda, Robert Morin, and Patrick Senechal to present their thoughts on the matter.

World Premiere

For college student Josie Kane, it starts as a simple internship — to shadow a group of high-tech land surveyors as they make their first foray into an ancient wilderness. Assisted by grizzled security guard Dale Philip, the crew knows how to handle protesters and saboteurs — but there’s something much, much worse in the woods this time. The local natives say the land is cursed — haunted by a demonic entity older than time. Now people are going missing, turning up dead or worse, and Josie and the crew are about to discover the truth behind the legend. The most alarming horror is the one you never see coming!
