Hell Yeah! Octubre es mi mes favorito, no solo por Halloween, ni por todo lo que se deja ver en los anaqueles relacionado al género del Terror, ni por la posible segunda entrega del #RetoKosnar (La cual ustedes pueden hacer posible, mas información en este link) sino porque vienen uno de mis festivales de cine favoritos, y para colmo en mi ciudad de Los Angeles: Beyond Fest (acá pueden escuchar nuestro episodio donde cubrimos el festival del 2015).

Fuera del excelente ambiente en este festival, y las amistades que he formado con varios de los asistentes a traves de los años. Beyond Fest no solo hace varias funciones GRATUITAS de filmes muy interesantes meses antes de su estreno oficial, también se hacen funciones de filmes clásicos en formatos de 35MM, conciertos de grupos y compositores relacionados con el genero (Como Goblin), funciones de joyas difíciles de encontrar en Director’s Cut y hasta homenajes y eventos especiales con directores y elenco entre el publico los cuales siempre son un deleite asistir… Si, ese fue el evento donde se hicieron tatuajes gratis en la funcion doble de «Evil Dead».

Aca les dejamos el listado completo (el cual, vana tener que disculpar, no traduje) y tengan por seguro que ahí estaremos para cubrir la mayor cantidad de filmes posibles (Ya tengo mis boletos para el concierto de Fabio Frizzi con la presentacion de “The Beyond” y “City Of The Living Dead” y la función de “Dawn Of The Dead 3-D)

Vamos a ocupar muchas energias y pocas horas de sueño, pero las ganas ya las tenemos…. Monster , Patrociname!!
