RHODE ISLAND INTERNATIONAL
HORROR FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS FOR ITS 10TH GHOULISH SEASON!
October 22-25, 2009
Forty Seven Films from Across the Globe Screened during the 2008 Festival!
Our Ninth Year of rather twisted surprises took off October 2008. Our ghoulish crew worked with guest artist, Bill Timoney ("All My Children"), and delivered another memorable event.
The Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival is Proud to Bring You Another Warped Year of Fear, Malice, Murder and Mayhem...
PROVIDENCE,
RI. This October 23-26th 2008, the Rhode island International Horror Film Festival will screen some of the world's greatest independent fright films. Films presented will be from across the globe and represent a broad range of cinematic styles and approaches to the genre.
The RI International Horror Film Festival is an eerie-sistable salute to an
often overlooked genre that will include numerous world
premieres of shorts and features including the best
of films submitted in competition from all over the
globe. We guarantee that you will not
see anything like them anywhere else. Plus, many of
the filmmakers will be in attendance, so you'll have
a chance to network, ask questions and maybe even audition
for their next film.
To add to the fun, the Festival, much like a witch's
brew, will consist of various ingredients such as a
multi-media concert called...
Malice Aforethought
Ghoulish Halloween Fun with a musical motif!
