More info:
I have dug deep into our archive (of the last festival) and have blown off the dust from some of the video footage. Buried in this, I found some great interviews with some of the directors and guests that had attended the festival. I will be bringing this video to light soon once I clean it up a little. Found so far seems to be a Q and A with Jeff Thomas, Reggie Bannister, and Gigi (with a guest appearance by Edwin Neal). Also a very in depth interview with Tony Walsh from "It's My Party and I'll Die if I Want To."
I will continue to dig through the catacombs of our festival lair to see what more I can bring to you.
For Now,
We'll Scare you Soon!
