\"hiffsd-01\"<\/a>This year\u2019s edition of Horrible Imaginings Film Festival saw the festival grow from 3 days to 5 days and include more features, documentaries, shorts, live literature readings (as well as a dance showcase).\u00a0 The fest does not feature a gallery anymore, but it has been about more than films since its inception.\u00a0 This year\u2019s highlights were some truly great short films and the campfire story readings with David Agranoff, Laura\u00a0 Lee Bahr, John Skipp, and Cody Goodfellow amongst others.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fest also had a private visit of the Cannibals Myth & Reality exhibit at the nearby San Diego Museum of Man followed by an anthropophagia panel, a talk about Mexican cinema by Aaron Soto called Viva Mexico!, some flash fiction readings, a great opening party, and event catered meals for VIP pass holders and guests.\u00a0 Also, their closing film, The Greasy Strangler, had the most vocal reaction seen in a long time at the festival.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s festival\u2019s shows that it\u2019s still growing and becoming one of the best ones in Southern California for horror fans to attends. That being said, here are links to all Cinema Crazed\u2019s coverage of the fest (in the order that they played the festival, not necessarily the order I reviewed them).<\/p>\n
