Greetings, fellow horror aficionados! Grab your garlic necklaces, sharpen your stakes, and make sure your flashlight batteries are fresh because we’re about to dive headfirst into the spine-chilling circus that is the Horror Conventions of 2024. If you thought your Aunt Mildred’s haunted porcelain doll collection was terrifying, just wait until you step into a convention hall filled with creatures that go bump in the night and cosplayers who take “creepy” to a whole new level. Join me, and all our weird friends, as we navigate the haunted landscape of this year’s frightful festivities. It’s time to embrace the darkness, but remember to keep an eye on your shadow—it might be attending its own panel discussion. https://puzzleboxhorror.com/horror-conventions-2024/ THE HORROR STREAM LIVE https://horrorstream.cloudaccess.host/index.php

More Than 15 Years of Freaks, Frights, and Fantastic Filmmakers! The 15th Edition of A Night of Horror International Film Festival takes place at Dendy Cinemas Newtown, Sydney, Australia, from September 28th until October 1st, 2023. Showcasing the latest and greatest genre films from Australia and the world: the event will deliver an amazing line-up that will transport audiences to strange and wonderful worlds and blood-curdling nightmares. A Night of Horror International Film Festival has remained dedicated to independent genre film and filmmakers for sixteen years. Our selection process is committed to uncovering new filmmakers by ensuring that no less than 90% of short films and 50% of feature films are selected from our open submission process, rather than from sales agents and distributors. In the past, staying true to this aim has seen the festival screen early works from filmmakers such as Mike Flanagan (Hush, The Haunting of Hill House), Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead, The Mist), and Adrián Garcia Bogliano (Late Phases, Black Circle), to name a few of the festival alumni. https://www.anightofhorror.com/ THE HORROR STREAM LIVE https://horrorstream.cloudaccess.host/index.php

Five Top Ghost Tours For National Ghost Hunting Day [Halloween Every Night] True believers see ghosts everywhere. Skeptics see bupkis. But on National Ghost Hunting Day, there is something for both to enjoy in five of the best ghost tours in the country. On Sept. 24, aficionados can celebrate National Ghost Hunting Day by doing more than singing the Ghostbusters theme. Many cities have dark pasts that breed speculation about the supernatural, though some locations must be seen to be enjoyed. “A good ghost tour provides a rich history and a balance of legends while incorporating the modern,” says Cris August, owner of OC Ghosts and Legends. “It’s a field that requires a great deal of patience, but everyone loves a good ghost story.” Halloween Every Night assembled a white-knuckled fist full of ghost tours from around the country that embody that spirit of entertainment. https://halloweeneverynight.com/five-top-ghost-tours-for-national-ghost-hunting-day/ THE HORROR STREAM LIVE http://www.TheHorrorStreamLive.com/ Become a Producer Become a legitimate producer of THE HORROR STREAM LIVE and get credit, attend weekly production meetings, provide input and help steer the show in the direction YOU want it to go.
