After Dark Films got all mad at us for naming our Halloween party-&-screening-series “8 Films To Kill For: Halo-ween Fest” cuz they have that “8 Films To Die For: After Dark Horrorfest” and thought it would be cool to have their lawyers kick us in the balls. First of all… killing and dying are two totally different things. Killing is pretty badass and dying is for suckers, so we thought it was pretty obvious who was who. Oh well.

So the new name is “Halo-8: Films That Kill” and you can read a bit about the brouhaha here

- Weeklong run of Horror & Punk Films at Engine Theater in Hollywood -

Los Angeles, CA, October 2, 2008 - Halo-8 Entertainment has announced the program for its “8 Films To Kill For: Halo-ween Fest” theatrical run. As originally reported in The Hollywood Reporter (Sept. 30, 2008), the fest runs from Thursday October 23rd through Wednesday October 29th at The Engine Theater in Hollywood.

The program consists of seven films playing every day all week, including “PINK EYE,” “THE DEVIL’S MUSE,” “GIMME SKELTER,” “PUNK ROCK HOLOCAUST 2,” “THREAT,” and “N.Y.H.C.” The eighth film, Halo-8’s controversial and critically acclaimed documentary “YOUR MOMMY KILLS ANIMALS,” will be distributed on DVD to all attendees as a Halloween treat - free with admission.

Each night will be capped off by the unique “SLUMBER PARTY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: THE GAME,” a hybrid film-screening/live-event that mixes pub-trivia with Rocky Horror-style ‘Audience Participation.’ Halo-8 is also throwing SPS screening/trivia-parties in NYC, Philadelphia, Austin, and Baltimore in October, with more cities to be announced.
