Javi Camino - 82 min. - www.malditobastardo.net - email: info@malditobastardo.net Almost everyone has heard once a good story while being caressed by the heat of the hearth. But not many have heard such a grotesque and delirious tale like the one which Fonsiño heard a cold winter night from his grandfather’s mouth. A real story full of violence and madness, filled with crazy doctors, savage rednecks, remote-controlled androids, mechanical pigs and deities of plush. A story where the truth will end merging with the inventions and distortions characteristic of a senile narrator, creating this way a totally unlikely whole. 8:00 pm I Can See You Dir.

Things soon get confusing, disturbing and deadly for the trio as they head into the woods and encounter the free-spirited temptress Summer Day, who is destined to drive them apart. Producer Larry Fessenden describes this movie as "1960's psychedelia by way of David Lynch with dashes of Phillip K. Dick and Cronenberg." 9:30 pm Intruder Dir. Gregory Caiafa - 85 min. October 31st is the scariest night of the year for everyone in Hobb's Ferry... Except Lila. For her, each day is just a little more frightening than the day before.

Tenney - 92 min. - www.10eBrothers.com email: 10eBrothers@comcast.net Two escaped convicts, two lost co-ed hikers, and a televangelist and his pretty, young assistant, stumble into a deserted fishing lodge, miles from civilization. The convicts capture the others until they discover the missing fishermen have been decapitated or turned into zombie brain-eaters by a parasitic alien goo from outer space. 6:30 pm Swamp Creek Dir. Donald Maness - 68 min. - www.trickshowstudios.com This horror story takes place in a small backwoods community know as Swamp Creek. The College kids from surrounding towns frequent these cursed grounds to party and defy the rumors of people going in to Swamp Creek and never comming out.

Barak Epstein, Blair Rowan - 98 min. - www.bloodonthehighway.com - email: barak@bloodonthehighway.com After a gastrointestinal mishap with their map, three twenty-somethings on a road-trip accidentally wander into the small town of Fate, Texas, only to find the town populated by bloodthirsty, dimwitted vampires.
