I heart the Twin Cities Horror Fest, now in its fourth year. Here's why (not in order of importance):
- It's a manageable size (twelve shows this year)
- It runs a reasonable amount of time (October 22 through November 1, 2015)
- It's at only one theater (The Southern Theater)
- And that theater is appropriately spooky
- And it has a bar
- Their website rocks: Simple, clean and clear with descriptions, schedules by day and by show, and useful genres and ratings
- The staff and volunteers are marvelously organized, friendly and efficient
- The theater is located near a number of excellent restaurants and bars (Town Hall Brewery, Republic, Jewel of India and many more)
Oh, and I almost forgot: IT'S ALL SCARY!
For a horror and theater fan, who often has to content herself with the occasional Martin McDonough and Conor McPherson production, to have a whole festival devoted to spooky theater, during the best holiday season ever is fabulous. Thank you, TCHF!
