Horror

“Mmwah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!!” That sinister laugh…(Shut up! That was SO sinister!)…announces another “first” for BIFF as it unveils its brand new “Horror” short slot. Maybe it’s a sign of the times, or a symptom of our socioeconomic climate, but the horror genre has become a very popular indie haunt (Thank You). Some of these films may, one day, grace the midnight lineup of Svengoolie, Ned the Dead, or even Count Floyd. Veddy, veddy skeddy, indeed!
