FRIGHT NIGHT THEATRE FILM FESTIVAL – TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE
February 22, 2016 – The Fright Night Theatre Film Festival (FNTFF) in Hamilton, ON, Canada is proud to announce that tickets and passes are now available for the March 11-12 horror, cult, and exploitation genre film lineup. Scaring up excitement over two nights of thrills, chills, and kills, the FNTFF is a twice-a-year festival that celebrates the best in independent genre entertainment.
Highlights from this year’s lineup include the theatrical world premiere of HARVEST LAKE by director Scott Schirmer (FOUND) and the Canadian Premiere of the Halloween-themed 80’s horror homage and crowd-funding success THE BARN by director Justin M. Seaman.
The first installment of the FNTFF runs March 11 – 12 at the Staircase Theatre in Hamilton, ON. The FNTFF is not just a scary night at the movies packed with monsters, madmen, and murder; it’s a celebration of fringe filmmaking, controversial cinema, tongue-in-cheek B-movies, and the art of the macabre.
FEATURED FILMS:
HARVEST LAKE – (World Premiere)
Dir. Scott Schirmer (USA)
A group of campers on a birthday vacation to the lake fall under the erotic spell of a libidinous, otherworldly presence in the woods. Inhibitions drop and their behaviors become erratic as one by one they find their sexual identities and wills being subsumed by the creature’s power. One of the friends tries to escape the carnal free-fall, ultimately bringing him face to face with the source of a primal mystery that will change his life
forever. This bold and “uncomfortably sexy” new film comes from director Scott Schirmer (Found) and producer Brian K. Williams (Time to Kill) with special FX by The Clockwerk Creature Company. Starring: Tristan Risk (American Mary), Ellie Church (Headless), Jason Crowe (Dead Moon Rising), Dan Nye (The Legend of Wasco), and Kevin Roach (The Confession of Fred Krueger)
THE BARN – (Canadian Premiere)
Dir. Justin M. Seaman (USA)
It’s Halloween 1989, and best friends Sam and Josh are trying to enjoy what’s left of their final Devil’s Night before graduating high school. But the two pals and a group of their friends get more trick than treat when they take a detour on their way to a rock concert, finding an old abandoned barn and awakening a trio of Halloween demons inside. Now it’s up to Sam and Josh to find a way to protect their friends and defeat the flesh-hungry creatures that lurk within “The Barn.” THE BARN is the perfect retro throwback to classic 80s VHS horror like The Monster Squad, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, and Full Moon’s empire of direct to video features. Starring: Mitchell Musolino, Will Stout, Lexi Dripps, Cortland Woodard, Nikki Darling, Nickolaus Joshua, and Ari Lehman (the first Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th).
