Toronto After Dark is approaching its premiere this October, and Twitch Film’s head pirate (also the festival’s programmer extraordinaire) Todd Brown just couldn’t resist dishing a little taste of what’s to come including “…multiple varieties of the undead, talking dogs and stacks of raw beef…giant snakes, mental illness and heads bisected by shovels.”
With a portion of the festival’s schedule set to be revealed on August 29th (remaining titles will be announced in September), start practicing your Magic 8-Ball talents with these additional details:
“… four [films] from Japan, four from the USA and one each from Hong Kong, Germany, Sweden, Thailand and the Netherlands.”
The festival was a head-turner from the day it was announced; and the more I think about it, the more I despair that I won’t be there. Make sure you visit the official site, where you can sign up for email updates as well as enter to win passes to Rue Morgue’s fabulous Festival of Fear!
