Holy mackerel! If the FIFA 2010 didn’t convince you to come over for a visit to sunny South Africa, then book your plane tickets and come on down to the Labia Theatre in Cape Town for some good horror fun!

Since it’s inception in 2005, the “SA HORRORFEST FILM FESTIVAL” has been the Halloween event on the continent, showcasing horror, the macabre and the strange from around the world. The 6^th instalment of this exciting week of horror will include new movies, classics, fan favourites, sneak previews and premieres from across the world, as well as several chapters of short films (international and local), Halloween dress-up prizes and awesome audience give-aways before each movie. If that wasn’t enough to get you giddy, then you can revel in the fact that there will again be a big Horror DVD collection (of several dozen movies) up for grabs for one lucky viewer! To make things even better, there will be a spectacular live movie soundtrack performance to the screening of a classic silent horror movie by “The Makabra Ensemble” (created by members of “Terminatryx”, collaborating with members of “Lark” and violin maestro Matthijs van Dijk).

The final festival line-up will be released soon…

Then, there is also something juicy for all you horror writers! The new literary leg, which was added in 2009, with the Lounge of Horror Fiction readings, has been expanded in 2010 to include “Bloody Parchments” short story competition: http://www.shadowrealminc.com/bloodyparchment/index.htm

The closing date for short film-, feature film-, and short story entries is late August! (Extensions by request – see website for full info http://www.horrorfest.info)

Is that enough to convince you yet? No? Well, maybe you’d like to hear about some other awesome features coming in the form of dark art & photography exhibitions… or maybe you’d like to hear about the limited edition 2009 HorrorFest/Provoyeur Wine Range that was very well received last year and that something similar is in the works for 2010? Maybe a prominent figure in horror movies that’ll be at the event will make you whet your curiosity more?
