Dark Carnival is a week-long celebration of horror, featuring live sideshow entertainment, live bands, merchandise, after-hours parties, special guests and more! But most of all, it's about the movies! This year Dark Carnival will be screening more than 40 films over a span of six days, making the show one of the largest indie horror film festivals in the country! Screening venues include the Cinemat Screening Room, the Rose Firebay auditorium, the Starlight Drive-In, and the historic Buskirk-Chumley Theater - a 1930s era movie house. Dark Carnival is held in Bloomington, Indiana (home of Indiana University- just an hour south of Indianapolis) and this year's fest runs September 16-21, 2008 I will be there, just not sure what days right now.

Atlanta Horror Fest October 23-26, 2008. Now in the third year Atlanta Horror Fest has decided its time to go much bigger with the festival. That means bigger bands, bigger movies, vendors, contests, parties, special events, larger Zombie Walk, the list goes on! But the most exciting part of it all, They now have the Masquerade booked for the festival. That's three levels of bars, stages, screens, patios, etc. Housed in a turn-of-the-century mill building, and often claimed to be haunted. there couldnt be a more amazing place for an event like this. The Masquerade has been known since its inception in 1989 as one of the country's most unique nightclub facilities. Also for all you younger fiends out there...it's an all ages show.
