Victoria, British Columbia is again set to premiere films for Dedfest '12! This is the second year for the film festival and organizer Ira Hunter of Absolute Underground has teamed up with Burning Moon Films and Zombie Walk Victoria to bring horror fans the best in horror and film.
This year's festival will show Ryan Nicholson's Famine (2011). Nicholson, of Vancouver, B.C., will also be in attendance at the film festival for a Q. and A. As well, the horror classics Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Creepshow (1982) will open the event. Romero's early black and white title set the tone for many zombie films to come. The horror anthology V/H/S (2012) from The Collective will follow. And, this title brings directors David Bruckner, Joe Swanberg, Ti West Adam Wingard and others together for a night of terror!
As well, Absolute Underground will be giving away prizes to horror fans in attendance. Adult beverages will be on hand along with memorabilia from all of the films shown. The full schedule for Dedfest Victoria '12 is hosted below.
