The New York City Horror Film festival is the most looked forward to horror festival in the New York City area, and with good reason. Its for the fans, not very commercialized, and mega fun. That’s how founder Michael J. Hein had always wanted his festival to be. When Mike passed away unexpectedly, it left a crater in the NYC based horror community. 2011′s festival was cancelled out of respect. Now its 2012, and the NYCHFF is roaring back to life.
Festival features slated for competition showings at Tribeca Cinemas this year are: Nailbiter, Spider, Nightscape, Game of Werewolves, It’s In the Blood, Gut, Mimesis, Devoured, and Gallery of Fear. READ MORE

As a blogger and all around online presence, Matt Serafini definitely knows his sh*t when it comes to horror. I occasionally butt heads with him for liking something I don’t (or vice versa), but he’s certainly done his homework on the genre and is someone I respect.
And he’s got his first book out! “Feral” is available on the Amazon Kindle store (with a physical publication in the coming weeks) for only $4.99. And if you’re feeling tender about even that low of a price, you can always check out a sample chapter! I haven’t had a chance to read it but am certainly looking forward to doing so when I get a moment.
In the book, “It was supposed to be an idyllic summer vacation for college friends Jack Markle and Allen Taylor. But they didn’t know about the evil lurking in the resort town of Greifsfield. When Allen falls under the influence of insidious beauty Elisabeth Luna, Jack begins to realize that sinister forces are at work all around him. And now he’s fighting to save his friends from an age-old evil he never believed could exist.
Even if it kills him.“
