For some people, the sight of seeing a same sex couple holding hands is pretty frightening. Most of the rest of us prefer to find our frights in the confines of a movie theater. However, this weekend, Bloodbath Entertainment puts the two together in practical fashion when they present the Fears for Queers 2 Film Festival this Saturday, June 25th.
The festival runs from 2PM – 7PM at the historic Texas Theater and features films either created by LBGT filmmakers or of gay interest. On this year’s slate of films is “George’s Intervention” by director J.T. Seaton (featuring genre veteran, Lynn Lowry) and the vampire comedy, “Bite Marks” by writer/director Mark Besssenger.
Additionally, three shorts will also be presented “Cupcake” by Rebecca Thompson, “metsastymmaa” by Nalle Mielonen and “I Was a Tranny Werewolf” by Lola Rocknrolla.
Half of all ticket sales will be donated to Youth First Texas, a non-profit Dallas organization which helps provide youth in the LGBTQ community counseling and support, activities, leadership opportunities and educational support. For more information, visit them online here.
Joe has been writing for as long as he could hold something to write with - much to the chagrin of his mother. A recent convert to the genre, he now immerses himself in any and all things related to horror.
In addition to reviewing movies, Joe is also a published horror writer and has recently added filmmaking to his list of accomplishments. His first short, "Annotated" premiered in August. He's currently working on his second short: a 80's style slasher called "Survivor Girl".
A fan of all things Lovecraftian, he's been known to say, "Everything's better with tentacles."
