They’re coming to get you, Barbara. The scene kids that have now become scene adults, that is. One of the coolest boroughs (Brooklyn) of one of the coolest cities (New York City) is hosting one of the coolest genre film festivals on the East Coast. That is right. The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is quickly approaching, running from October 15 to October 22. And if you are attending in person, be prepared. You’ll be surrounded by a sea of blue, green, and purple hair by your favorite horror icons, influencers, critics, and more. Here at Horror Movie Blog, we will be covering the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival from the comfort of our own homes. Sans multicolored hair…maybe.
As we prepare for what this genre fest has in store for us, we want to share with you five titles that have us buzzing with excitement.

The Glorious Dead

A small-town sheriff and her deputy awaken to a changed world where blood drips from taps, people and pets vanish, fleshy creatures roam the woods, and the hamlet descends into chaos. By noon, the skies turn white with snow. And the dirt cannot keep the dead down as the shattered community buckles under pressure. As the sun sets, all hell has frozen over.

A Parisian singer, transformed into a vampire, pursues stardom, sacrificing her soul in the process.
Posthumous
