OHFF 2013 ANNOUNCED!May 22nd, 2013 / Author: Oshkosh Horror
For the fourth year, the OSHKOSH HORROR FILM FESTIVAL will invade the Time Community Theater in Downtown Oshkosh this October. However, this year, the fest will be held over the course of two days, October 5-6! HOUSE OF HORRORS – MARCH – SEVERANCEFebruary 9th, 2013 / Author: Oshkosh HorrorAs horror movies have proven time and time again, nothing at a cabin/cottage ever goes wrong, right? This month, we’re heading to the rural parts of Europe for our British double feature of SEVERANCE and THE COTTAGE. The night will start with THE COTTAGE, where feuding brothers David and Peter abduct a young woman and hole up in a remote rural cottage, their hostage quickly turns the tables on her captors. But soon, it’s all for one when they find that the deranged farmer next door is the real threat. Andy Serkis, Reece Shearsmith and Jennifer Ellsion star, with an appearance or two from Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley. March’s main feature (SEVERANCE) follows a sales group — employed by an international weapons company — as they head for a team-building retreat at a remote lodge in Hungary. Before you can say “mayhem,” a band of vengeful, psychotic commandos turns the tables and puts the merchants on the wrong end of their wares. Be sure to check out the trailers below, mark your calendars and join us in the woods. As always, House of Horrors is free and open to the public, so bring your friends!
HOUSE OF HORRORS – FEBRUARY – RE-ANIMATORJanuary 22nd, 2013 / Author: Oshkosh HorrorHP Lovecraft, Stuart Gordon, and Jeffrey Combs walk into a bar… Stop me if you heard this one. Maybe those three haven’t gone to a bar together, but they sure as hell will be at this month’s House of Horrors! We’re gearing up for two off-the-wall Lovecraft adaptations only Gordon could produce, RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND! Starting the night out is FROM BEYOND. After inventing a way for creatures from the fourth dimension to come into his own world, Dr. Edward Pretorious suffers a gruesome decapitation at the hands of those he brought “from beyond.” But authorities suspect his assistant is to blame. Don’t miss Dawn of the Dead’s Ken Foree in this gooey practical effects creature feature! Following up FROM BEYOND is the film Gordon made one year prior, RE-ANIMATOR! Medical student, Herbert West, develops a serum that miraculously revives the dead. With his roommate and his girlfriend, he reanimates a corpse — but he doesn’t factor in certain complications. This one has to be seen to believe! Be sure to check out the trailers below, mark your calendars and come party in the cemetery. As always, House of Horrors is free and open to the public, so bring your friends!
HOUSE OF HORRORS – JANUARY – CEMETERY MANDecember 19th, 2012 / Author: Oshkosh HorrorAnother new year means another year full of horror, and we’re kicking off 2013 in the cemetery! First up will be I SELL THE DEAD. Now, this title from 2008 might not be too familiar, but you’ll definitely recognize a few faces. Dominic Monaghan, Larry Fessenden, Angus Scrimm and Ron Perlman star in this flick, where 18th century justice catches up with a pair of grave robbers. With only a few hours to go before his date with the guillotine, Arthur Blake tells his life story to Father Francis Duffy. Before long, Arthur spills the beans on how he got started in the grim corpse peddling business with seasoned ghoul Willie Grimes. The main feature of the evening will be CEMETERY MAN (aka DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE). There is the duality between love and dead (in Italian “dellamore” means “of love” and “dellamorte” means “of death”), a duality that Dellamorte feels in a really hard way. He is the guardian of the cemetery of Buffalora, a little town in the north of Italy, in which, we don’t know why, corpses rise from tombs and Dellamorte has to destroy them. Dellamorte seems not to ask to himself why this happen, he shoots and loves. But at the end he wants to leave Buffalora… The tagline is “Zombies, Guns, and Sex, OH MY!!!” for crying out loud, you know you don’t want to miss this one! Be sure to check out the trailers below, mark your calendars and come party in the cemetery. As always, House of Horrors is free and open to the public, so bring your friends!
HOUSE OF HORRORS – DECEMBER – A CADAVER CHRISTMASNovember 12th, 2012 / Author: Oshkosh HorrorWe like to get a little festive at House of Horrors. Keep in mind that “getting festive” just means showing films that have some sort of relevance to the time of year, so in reality, we’re not all that festive. Oh, well. We try. Anyway, (love it or hate it) Christmas time is fast approaching, so it’s time for us to give the gift of Christmas horror! Starting out the night is will be the Tales From The Crypt episode, “And All Through The House.” Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Used Cars, Back To the Futures 1-3, and Forrest Gump, just to name a few) and written by Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps and Monster Squad), a greedy woman makes the mistake of murdering her husband while an escaped mental patient dressed in a Santa Claus outfit is on the loose. The main feature will be A Cadaver Christmas. Yes, this screened at the OHFF this year, but many of the HoH crowd were MIA (shame on you), so we thought we’d be nice. Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Lab, not a creature was stirring, except for the cadavers! When a biology professor‘s Christmas Eve experiment goes horribly awry, it‘s up to the university‘s janitor to mop up the mess… But dealing with the undead may be a job even the best janitor can‘t keep under control… and where else to recruit help but at the local bar. Chances are we’ll have some other holiday (bloody) fun in store too. Be sure to check out the trailer below, mark your calendars and come out for the fun. As always, House of Horrors is free and open to the public, so bring your friends!
 H.P. LOVECRAFT DOUBLE FEATURE!!!September 23rd, 2012 / Author: Oshkosh HorrorGilead Media, House of Heroes, and Oshkosh Horror present two HP Lovecraft Historical Society productions. Two tales of cosmic terror! THE CALL OF CTHULHU No advance tickets, $5 at the door. Doors at 6:30 PM, screening at 7:00 PM. The Call Of Cthulhu is the story of a group of sailors who come upon another ship near a mysterious island city risen from the sea, and a madness that may very well be undoing of humankind. Runtime: 47 minutes. The Whisperer In Darkness tells of Albert Wilmarth, of Miskatonic University, and his investigation into the strange events taking place at the Akeley farm in Vermont. What he discovers there will test the limits of his sanity. Runtime: 104 minutes. Each film utilizes what the HPLHS calls Mythoscope, a blend of vintage and modern filming techniques intended to reproduce the look of a 1920s-era film. In keeping with the theme of creating a 20s era film, The Call Of Cthulhu is also a silent picture. Delivering a piece that truly captures the feeling of a Lovecraftian tale. The HPLHS strives to bring the terrifying stories of HP Lovecraft to life through a variety of forms, whether they be film, radio theater, or through the creation of Lovecraft themed merchandise and vintage props.
