Dread Central Attends the Opening Night of 2009 Screamfest LA

This Dread Central scribe (along with 2001 Maniacs: Beverly Hellbillys actress Kathryn Le) hit the black carpet of the opening night of Rachel Belofsky's 2009 Screamfest LA film festival last night, as well as the after-party at Boulevard 3. Pictures and more follow!

The fest kicked off with the action/horror hybrid The Tournament (an interesting choice to which the audience responded favorably). That film’s director, Scott Mann, was in attendance for the festivities, as were Dimension Films’ Barry Gordon, The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (review here) actresses Ashley C. Williams and Ashlyn Yennie, journalist and actor Luke Thompson, and many more. Click each of the below photos to see them full-size.

Belofsky’s venerated L.A. Screamfest continues tonight in Hollywood with screenings of the features Macabre (review here), Finale, and Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (review here) and runs until October 24. The fest’s centerpiece film, The House of the Devil (review here), screens on Wednesday, October 21.
