RHODE ISLAND INTERNATIONAL
HORROR FILM FESTIVAL Will RETURN
October 23-26, 2008
Our eighth year of rather twisted surprises takes off again this October. Ric Rebelo
and his ghoulish crew promise another memorable event. Details will be posted as they develop... And this year we have some truly amazing films to share with you.
Email
from a filmmaker in Texas: "Thank
you so much for your generosity and hospitality. We had a blast. Providence was much fun,
the people were all great, and the entire experience
left us feeling both lucky and honored. We had a great
time watching, talking, and basically breathing movies
for the entire fest, and had an equally great time meeting
Ric, Josh, Marc, Adam, and the rest of the crew. The
Best Director award was icing on the cake, and has been
pivotal in convincing my Mom that all those years of
couch-surfing and unemployment may have been worth it.
Sincerely, thank you for the honor. We've been gushing
about both the festival and Providence since we returned,
and hope to see you all again as soon as possible. We've
just started conceptualizing our next projects, including
a very bloody and carnal retelling of a famous fairy
tale, and we'll show you what we've done just as soon
as there's something to show. We'll also stay in touch
to inform you of new "Day X" developments,
including the website launch and when we'll have copies
of the finished dvd for you. Once again, thanks for
everything, and feel free to contact me with any questions,
follow-up's, hello's, you name it."

The Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival is proud to bring you another year of Cheer and Fear!
PROVIDENCE,
RI. This October 18-21st, the Rhode island International Horror Film Festival will air 40 of the world's greatest independent fright films. Some of the titles include the French film "Le Bagman," the Brazilian vampire thriller "Akai," The Canadian heart stopper, "The Demonology of Desire" as well as Local Rhode Island films like Richard Griffin’s "Pretty Dead Things." Not to mention films like "Redsin Tower," "Easter Bunny Kill Kill" and many more. Some of our films have already won awards in festivals around the world.
It was a record year for submissions and we will pass the quality on to you the filmgoers. Stay tuned to this website in September for a complete list of screening times and films.
The RI 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
costume contest and awards for Best Feature
and Best Short and more.
