Now that I live in Massachusetts, the Salem Horror Fest has become my new go-to horror film festival. Work meant that I had to miss the opening night festivities on Thursday, but I was damn sure able to make it to Friday night and check out a pair of indie horror flicks. While the first one was a disappointment, the second one blew my damn socks off.
To start...

Not rated

Chronicle (2012)
Rated PG-13 for intense action and violence, thematic material, some language, sexual content and teen drinking

The second night of the Salem Horror Fest was where the real horror movies came out, and they had a theme: found footage. The similarities ended there, though.

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This (2023)
Not rated
Some Halloween leftovers: a couple of weeks ago, I got the opportunity to travel to Telluride, Colorado and take in the last day of the Telluride Horror Show, a horror film festival held every year in October. What, just because I couldn't make Popcorn Frights doesn't mean I'm totally bereft of local horror festivals!
First up, a movie that grabbed my attention from the premise alone...
The Offering (2022)
Not rated
V/H/S/2 (2013)
Rated R for graphic and bloody violence, grisly images, sexual material, nudity and language
