This weekend, the Mutantville Players are heading to Durham and the Carolina Theatre for the Twelfth Annual Nevermore Film Festival. This year’s Nevermore will consist of nine new independent horror films, three classics, and fifteen short fillms from filmmakers across the country – including the Carolinas! Mutantville.com is proud to announce that the first installment of the Tales From Mutantville collection – Scarecrow At Midnight will premiere during the event.
Over the years, Nevermore has played such cult hits as Bubba Ho Tep, Monster Man, My Little Eye, Night of the Demons, Witchboard, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and many more. This year’s lineup consists of an array of films from horror classics such as Friday the 13th, Sam Raimi’s Darkman, and the Academy Award winning Silence of the Lambs as well as new indie features like Unaware, Rubber, El Monstro Del Mar, Vanishing on 7th Street, Black Death, and Mold! Nevermore will also play host to no less than fifteen short films consisting of the aforementioned Scarecrow At Midnight, Bursters, The Writer, Alice Jacobs Is Dead, and even the winner of George A. Romero’s American Zombie Film Contest – Robert W. Filion’s See The Dead!
J.T.McRoberts, writer/director of Scarecrow At Midnight, expressed his enthusiam about the festival by stating that “I look forward to Nevermore every year. I keep my ear to the ground in the fan community and people are often complaining that horror is dead or that mainstream horror is all about remakes. Well if you just take the time to look around, one can find great horror everywhere and the Nevermore Film Festival is a testament to that. They’re playing nine new independent horror films from across the globe and there’s not a single remake in the bunch. I feel blessed as a fan to have a place like the Carolina Theatre nearby that keeps horror alive in North Carolina. To have one of my short films play there is a real honor.”
Scarecrow At Midnight and Robert W. Filion’s See The Dead will be playing in the short film block entitled “When the Stars Begin to Fall” on Saturday the 19th at NOON and again on Sunday the 20th at 2:10pm.
