THANKS FOR THE BLOODY SUPPORT - HORRORphiles #2 A HUGE SUCCESS

Dear LATIN HORRORphiles:

I wanted to take a moment and THANK everyone who came out last night and helped make "The HORRORphiles #2 - Scaring up a Revolución" such a BLOODY enormous success!! We had a packed house and once again we had an incredible vibe going that's hard to describe. The closest would be: SOLIDARITY. And I'm hoping there's more to read into the kinship than just extremely spiked BLOODY MARY mix :)

I also want to thank you all for coming out and putting $6 on the barrelhead during this wacked out economy to support the Anthology Film Archives and the filmmakers whose films we showcased. Please know that those hard-earned $ go a long way in keeping the Anthology up-and-running. It is the ONLY venue of its kind left in New York and is entirely administered by filmmakers, for filmmakers. I'm honored to have been associated with the screening space for the last 7-years, showcasing Latino/a films and now helping to put Latin horror on the map with their unconditional support.

Last but NOT least, I want to thank the very talented artists who allowed us to present their work -- I hope we managed to showcase their talents in a dignified and respectful manner. I want to ensure that you also continue to support their work. If you enjoyed their work, become their fans and friends (if you already aren't). Send them a note of appreciation, and keep abreast of their next projects as they continue to create more horrific work. Fortunately for us, all the filmmakers from last night's showcase can be found on Facebook:

"Scaring up a Revolución"

CIRQUE DU FREAK BOUNCED TO 2010..

Universal has now pushed CIRQUE DU FREAK, vampire flick based on the Darren Shan book series, from its original loosely tossed about release slot of summer/fall 2009 to January 15, 2010 (a date the studio says will be its final answer). While this new date is a bummer for fans of the series anxiously waiting for the adaptation, it is beginning to turn the first quarter of 2010 into a jammed-packed horror smorgasbord as slew of other fright films are also poised to hit the screen during that time, including Lionsgate’s DAYBREAKERS, Joss Whedon's THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, and Screen Gems’ LEGION.

We will continue to update you on this and other projects.

"The HORRORphiles #2 - Scaring up a Revolución" / BLOODY MARY COCKTAIL SHOTS

Dear LATIN HORRORphiles:

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the overwhelming response to LATIN HORROR and it series of Latin horror screenings. Your support is going a long way toward getting the word out about this venture to put this very worthwhile genre on the map.

I also wanted to inform you that we now have many more RSVPs than the capacity of the Anthology Film Archives will allow for the "The HORRORphiles #2 - Scaring up a Revolución" screenings, taking place on Saturday, April 4th. And since it's "general seating," I encourage you to come early and purchase your ticket(s) at the box office to ensure entry.

AND, if you arrive between 6:30 and 7pm, we will have complimentary "bloody mary" cocktail shots in the lobby for all our guests as a way to get you into the LATIN HORROR mood.

LATIN HORROR is hitting the bricks..

Dear LATIN HORRORphiles:

In our quest to ensure that the Latin horror movement seed begins to bear fruit, we are designing a series of advertisements entitled GET YOUR HORROR ON! designed to bring more like-mind folk into the ranks of the revolution.

When time allows, please take a moment and check out the first one we are releasing starting today. Of course, feedback is always welcome. And since this is an entirely grassroots effort, word-of-mouth is an indispensable part of making this a successful publicity push. So please pass it on to your fellow "dark creative expressionists" or anyone else you know who simply is a fan of horror.

Thanks so much for the ongoing support.
