SpectreVision, the production company founded and partnered by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Josh C. Waller, also participates in an annual horror film/music festival; and a very impressive lineup has been announced for this year’s event.

SpectreFest 2015 opens with Cooties, in which Wood co-stars, and closes with Avishai Sivan’s Tikkun, which won Best Actor, Best Israeli Feature, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography at this summer’s Jerusalem Film Festival. Sandwiched in-between are several Los Angeles premieres (Sun Choke, Love & Peace, and Nasty Baby); screenings of the highly anticipated Goodnight Mommy, Deathgasm, and The Final Girls; plus tributes to filmmakers Larry Fessenden and E. Elias Merhige (if you’ve never seen Begotten, you’re in for quite an experience!) and lots more.

SpectreFest is a hand-picked look at the latest and greatest in progressive genre films and forward-thinking music from around the world that challenge our grip on reality. It’s a place where unexpected elements of the fantastic gather together — offering cold shadows, distant melodies, forgotten memories, and new hauntings.

“It’s a deeply satisfying experience to put together an annual list of the films we feel push the envelope of what genre cinema can be and to bring these sometimes under-appreciated films to Los Angeles,” says Noah.

SpectreFest takes place during the months of September and October in conjunction with Cinefamily at the Silent Movie Theatre, 611 N. Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036.  The 2015 edition marks the fest’s third year already and is presented in association with the new premium video streaming service Shudder.

Tickets range from $12 to $35 (they’re free for Cinefamily members).  Note that the below showtimes are subject to change, and the free screenings require pre-registration on the Cinefamily site.

Ep. 347 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 1”
Ket tells Kim about the highly requested and truly terrifying Smile 2. This left Ketryn truly shooketh and gave The Substance a run for its money in grotesque-ness. It was simply a smorgasbord of gore and the first time in podcast history that Ket is the one who can’t quite say a word. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out what type of pants Kim needs for this one.Writer/Dir.

Ep. 348 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 2”
Ket tells Kim the rest of Smile 2. Listen, I sincerely hope that you have all put your fast pants on and haven’t borrowed any pants from either of Ket’s life partners, Kim OR Arik, because they only wear slow pants. We’ve also discovered something Kim should NOT include on her resUme and that’s “creepy smiling.” She’s too cute. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Smile 2.Writer/Dir.
