The 17 mind-blowing movies on the slab include:
\nvampyres, spirits from the other side, a zombie ambushed strip club, Frankenstein’s daughter, swinging ’60s slasher, an absorbed twin determined on come out, a haunted bed, giant leeches, a lesbian couple on the rampage, a backpacker’s Indonesian nightmare, five intersecting tales of terror, a gory night out, a found footage shoot gone wrong, a documentary on the long lost & most dangerous film ever made from the dawn of cinema, Dr. Frankenfurter, Brad & Janet, and a multitude of incredible short films with a wide range of genre sub-divisions and fantastic execution.<\/p>\n

(A segment of the line-up and other Flamedrop film festivals like Celludroid will also run at The Bioscope in Johannesburg in December)<\/p>\n

\nThe Makabra Ensemble’s live movie soundtrack performance this year (29 Oct) will be for the stunning 1932 French-German classic VAMPYR (linked with the audience Halloween dress-up competition and mini-market outside the cinema).<\/p>\n
