Now in its sixth year, The Highlands Horror Film Fest will screen an all stars election of features and shorts at Kevin Smith’s SModcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. With three huge blocks of global horror shorts and features, your nightmare needs during this October 4th & 5th will be fulfilled! Featuring 26 short films from four countries and three acclaimed horror features scanning the landscape of the genre include the bizarre WORLDS, the star-studded ROSWELL DELIRIUM, and the fever dream BLOODYBRIDGET, The Highlands Horror Film Fest will be worth the ticket price down the Jersey Shore at the famed Kevin Smith Smodcastle Cinemas..
The features lineup includes:
The New Jersey feature WORLDS. In this bizarre “found footage” tour de force from Director Chris Hammarberg. Chris describes it as “Unexplainable events, an unraveling conspiracy, and an unsolved murder begin to reveal a threat lurking just beyond our understanding.”Directed by Richard Bakewell, ROSWELL DELIRIUM takes place in the1980’s and features a cast full of familiar ’80s stars, including Anthony Michael Hall (of “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club” fame), “The Facts of Life” alum Lisa Whelchel, “Die Hard” and “Family Matters” actor Reggie Vel Johnson, Dee Wallace of “Cujo,” and “Flash Gordon” star Sam Jones. Finally, BLOODY BRIDGET is a bloody fun horror/comedy by director Richard Elfman, music by Danny Elfman and Ego Plum. A Voodoo deity transforms burlesque dancer (Anatasia Elfman) into a “Valentine Vampire.”Blood only wets her appetite–she must eat her victim’s beating hearts.
Filled with Q&As, frights, and film guests, The Highlands Horror Film Fest will run Friday, October 4, 2024, and Saturday, October 5, 2024. It will take place at the SModcastle Cinemas at 82 First Ave, Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716. For the complete lineup head to Hghlandsfilmfest.com
