A few scant details have been released about the Viscera Film Festival’s July 7 Red Carpet event that kicks off the 2012-2013 tour. You should keep an eye on their website for more information. If you live in L.A., near L.A., or happen to be going to L.A. at that time, you should go to the event which is being held at the world famous, historic Egyptian Theatre! It boasts an impressive line-up of international short horror films as well as some of the most spectacular filmmakers around!

The redesigned website for the official Women in Horror Recognition Month website has been revealed! They’re working on the archive now, but the rest of the site, including the mission and history of the effort, are up and running. Women in Horror Recognition Month is a service of the Viscera Organization (the group behind the Viscera Film Festival.)
The Viscera Film Festival is holding a fundraiser tomorrow in L.A. at the Wirtshaus! From the event’s Facebook page:
Come enjoy a beer and authentic German food on Thursday, May 24, 2012. Wirtshaus is generously donating 20% of all food and drink sales that day to the Viscera Organization for anyone that tells them “I Love Viscera!” This is an all day event so you can stop in for lunch, have an afternoon pint or challenge Viscera Board of Directors member Stacy Pippi Hammon to a boot drinking competition in the evening. How easy is that? Stacy will also have some goodies to give away between 8PM and 10PM for those that join for the evening fun.
If you can’t make it, but want to help an absolutely kick-butt 501(c)3 film festival, Viscera has a PayPal!

Two reviews for the screening of Viscera films in Toronto this past May 15 came out recently. The first one was a very quick review of the festival by William Brownridge for the website Toronto Film Scene and the other was posted today by “Movie Junkie TO” for the website Entertainment Maven!

A special sneak of the feature film Among Friends will play during the Viscera Film Festival’s July 7 kick-off event at the Egyptian!
To learn more about the film and its director, Danielle Harris (directing her first feature after having been in countless genre films), check out Heidi Honeycutt’s piece in this month’s Fangoria! (Issue #314 has Debbie Rochon on the cover, the Fango website says #313 is on shelves, but I saw 314 at a brick and mortar store last week. — LB)
If you live in or near Philadelphia, we have an awesome event to tell you about called the MAUSOLEUM ART SHOW OF HORRORS which will play host to the North American Tour of Terror at the PhilaMOCA on June 15. Karen Lam’s Doll Parts is part of that tour.
From the event’s Facebook page (where you should go for more information):
“On Friday, June 15, PhilaMOCA will host The Mausoleum Art Show of Horrors (curated by Jenny Dreadful) as a lead-in to the following day’s Mausoleum Horror Convention. But the evening isn’t completely dedicated to masterpieces of the macabre as we’ll also be hosting the North American Tour of Terror, a program of current short horror films curated by local filmmaker Matt Garrett (BEATING HEARTS), followed by local horror maestro Isaac Williams’ feature documentary MAYBE WE CAN GO TO HOLLYWOOD starring the late Philly punk legend Mikey Wild.”
