THE
EVERYBODY DIES HORROR FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS TO ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA!
IT'S
GORY! IT'S GRUESOME! IT'S SINISTER!
Brea,
CA - Back for its third year, the Everybody Dies Horror Film Festival is
returning to Brea, California on September 13th, 14th and
15th. And this year, the scares will be on and off the
screen! For the first time in the festival’s history, the EDHFF will be
teaming up with Sinister Pointe, Southern California’s only year round
permanent haunted attraction.
On
Friday, September 13th, audience members will be treated to a VIP
sneak preview of Sinister Pointe’s Halloween attraction! After they
survive (assuming they survive), the audience will be treated to the first
films of the 2013 film fest.
On
Saturday, September 14th and Sunday, September 15th,
the festival will move right down the road to the Brea Plaza 5 Cinema, home of
the EDHFF since 2011.
“This
year’s festival is going to be bigger and better than our previous years”
proclaimed Sara Parrell, co-director of the Everybody Dies Horror Film Festival
since its inception. “We have more nights, more feature films and the
evening at Sinister Pointe is going to be amazing!”
Over the span of the three nights, the Everybody Dies Horror Film
Festival will showcase fifteen short and feature films. As with previous
years, many of the filmmakers will be in attendance for an audience question
and answer session. “The Q&A’s have become one of the best parts of
the festival” said Jeff Smith, the other director of the EDHFF. “It’s a
great chance for the audience to meet these incredibly talented indie
filmmakers and also to provide the filmmakers with the opportunity to hang out
with each other.”
