The DeadMonton HorrorFest is getting ready to gear up and with so many horror fests sucking a nut lately and offering TERRIBLE films the fine folks in DeadMenton.... well ok its EDMONTON.. have decided to buck the trend and screen some cool flicks.

Kickstart your Halloween week with The Deadmonton Horror Festival (formerly Return to Odd), a three-day gore-a-thon of crowd pleasing cult classicks, new independent horror flicks, and local genre shorts from this city's most depraved new filmmakers! We'll also feature twisted art, live (and/or living dead) music, and the strangest sideshow entertainment this side of Barnum!

The mayhem kicks off with our Opening Night Party on October 23rd at The Starlite Room (10030 - 102 Street) with a killer live performance by Canada's Heavy Metal Monsters THREE INCHES OF BLOOD! Featured films include:

* MY NAME IS BRUCE Canadian Premiere! Horror legend Bruce Campbell plays himself (albeit an alcoholic, washed-up version) in this highly anticipated horror-comedy. When an ancient Chinese demon terrorizes the town of Gold Lick, Oregon, a local horror fan kidnaps his idol, Bruce Campbell, mistaking him for the fictional zombie-slayer Ash. Forced to fight a real monster, can Bruce rise above the miserable, off-screen schmuck that he is, and become a hero in real life?
* TOKYO GORE POLICE: The "What-the-f**k" movie of the year! Throw Videodrome, Evil Dead, and Robocop in a blender, hit puree, and what you'll get is Tokyo Gore Police. This wonderfully demented blend of bisected bodies, severed limbs, exploding heads and fountains of arterial blood won the Public Award for Best Asian Film at the 2008 Fantasia Festival.
