Plus, special performances by Philly's very own, The Unholy Sideshow. And as always, Baron Craze (Freelance Journalist), was there to capture it all for posterity. Keep an eye out for his articles on the net!

And the after parties? Forget about it! They were a blast!! Thanks to Oh!Sheas and Irish Pub. And again, last, but certainly not least, Princess Horror was on-hand throughout the entire fest, taking time from her busy schedule and wearing the actual dress from the horror classic film, I Drink Your Blood, and spreading sunshine all over the place. So, another big fat THANK YOU to everyone who participated in making TFF 2007 such a great festival!! 10/16-21/2007

 TFF 2006 

Well, Terror Film Festival 2006 was a tremendous success thanks to our attendees, staff, supporters, sponsors, and of course, our filmmakers (and their Moms & Dads!!!). It’s great to see that kind of support coming from the families and communities. The films were awesome and the audiences loved every minute of it. From the screenings to the Q&A’s to the free goodies after each program. Terror Film Festival 2006 was also a smash hit because of our venue. The prestigiously creepy, super cool Ethical Society Building, complete with “spooky” Halloween decorations designed by Mick Jagrrr, amazing audio visual supplied by DFT AudioVisual, oustanding writing awards from Writers Boot Camp, artist Nathan and his incredible artworks and collectibles, and Rodrigo and his never-ending mouth!

We also had LOTS of guest filmmakers in attendance, such as Jacob Buchheit (Project: Adam), Alex Patsos (Tom’s Place), Gary & Paul Irwin (Of Darkness), Matt Casale (Of Darkness), David Campfield (Dark Chamber, formerly "Under Surveillance"), Robert Harari (The Murder Game), Mike Zaleski (Half Price $ale), Arun Vaidyanathan (The Séance), and Jason Maran (Satan’s Whip). Plus, the after parties were a great time for all, with drink specials and yummy delicious food. And last, but certainly not least, Princess Horror herself was on-hand throughout the fest with all kinds of scary, sexy fun! So, a big fat THANK YOU to everyone who participated in making Terror Film Festival 2006 such a great festival!! 10/17-20/2006
