Fears & Beers: “A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child”

Fears & Beers: “A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child”

Uniting horror lovers year-round, Screamfest presents Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child for their latest Fears & Beers event on Tuesday, April 16th, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. The event takes place at the TCL Chinese 6 Theaters (6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028). Tickets are $16.00 and can be purchased on Eventbrite.

The fifth installment of the popular franchise focuses on Alice (Lisa Wilcox), a survivor of the fourth, who believes Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) has been eliminated for good. She optimistically hopes to start a life with fellow survivor Dan (Danny Hassel). The nightmares begin soon enough, though, and Alice learns she is pregnant. When her friends start dying, Alice suspects that Freddy is using the fetus within her as a weapon. Can she fight the demon while protecting her unborn child?

Fears & Beers events include a screening, Q&A, trivia, prizes, and more. They are wonderful events that bring together horror fans from around the area for an evening of socializing and fun. Each ticket includes a free beer for all guests over 21.

This month’s event includes screening of the 5th installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, a Q&A with Lisa Wilcox, Kelly Jo Minter, and other cast (TBA) moderated by Brian Collins of Birth.Movies.Death , and the usual socializing at the theater bar.

I hope to see you there!

The Horror Photography of Joshua Hoffine

The Horror Photography of Joshua Hoffine

If you type “horror photography” into your search bar, the first site that appears is for Joshua Hoffine. You might not know him by name, but you have probably seen his work.

Hoffine’s photography mixes the horrific with the fantastic. Each image seems to come directly from our collective nightmares – from the thing under the bed to what lurks just around the corner. His art not only contains macabre antagonists, it also features elaborate sets that blur the line between reality and fantasy. The locations seem almost familiar, but include just touches of something off.

While creating these fascinating shots, Hoffine also includes friends, family, and even his own daughters to bring his vision to life.He constructs the movie-like sets and allows his subjects to act out the scene in front of the camera, causing each photograph to tell an all-to-familiar scary tale.

The images have been a source of nightmares and inspiration to many people in the horror/haunt industry. Visit Hoffine’s official website at: http://www.joshuahoffine.com/#/1 to see his entire collection.

“Jack” Short Film

“Jack” Short Film

Drew Daywalt is an expert in creating eerie short films. His youtube channel is full of creepy little movies that are sure to please any horror fan. Mockingbird and There’s No Such Thing never fail to creep me out, even though I have seen them dozens and dozens of times by now.

In Jack, Daywalt sets up the beginning of a horror tale in less than 60 seconds. Made for the Santa Barbara MINUTE Film Festival, this piece achieves its goal and makes us want 60 minutes more to find out the rest of the story. It is a wonderful inspiration and example of making every second count in your film.
