The Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival is an annual film festival held in Providence, Rhode Island, which features a wide variety of horror, sci-fi, and thriller films, as well as documentaries, from the United States and around the world. Founded in 2000, as one of several "festival sidebars" of the Rhode Island International Film Festival, it is the largest and longest-running horror film festival in New England. [1] [2] [3]

The festival is known for screening formerly lost and restored films, most often silent films with live accompaniment, at the historic Columbus Theatre. The German horror films Nosferatu (1922) and Unheimliche Geschichten (1919) premiered at the 2002 and 2004 festivals respectively. [4] Several years later, the festival offered a special world premiere screening of Roger Corman's The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) which had been restored and in high definition. [5] The event has also featured guest appearances by actors and filmmakers, book-signings from horror writers, art exhibitions, and the annual H.P. Lovecraft Walking Tour. [6]

A number of films have made their U.S. or international premieres at the festival. In 2004 alone, six festival entries made their U.S. premiere and five made their world premiere. Other films have included: Dark Remains (2005), Day X (2005), Pretty Dead Things (2006), Sea of Dust (2008), Chloe and Attie (2009), and Sudden Death! (2010). In January 2006, the Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival was called one of the top horror film festivals in the United States by Rue Morgue . [7] MovieMaker has described the festival as "one of New England’s premier cinema events". [3] The 2012 Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival received 461 submissions from 20 countries of which 63 films were selected. That same year, Chris Hallock of Diabolique Magazine wrote that it had "quietly become one of the top horror film festivals in the world". [2]

History

The Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival was started by Shawn Drywa. [3] It became the first of several annual "festival sidebars" hosted by the Rhode Island International Film Festival in 2000. Scott Lefebvre, an author and film critic, started as an attendee during this period and eventually became a juror for the festival. [8]

The 2002 festival celebrated the 75th anniversary of Providence's historic Columbus Theatre and attracted record crowds to the venue. Rolfe Kanefsky's Tomorrow by Midnight made its East Coast premiere at the festival and won "Best Picture". The award for best short film was a tie between Patrick Cannon's Timmy's Wish and Tyler Polhemus's Off. A restored print of F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) was also screened at the event. Festival director Shawn Drywa presented the winners with a small statuette "a gold witch on a broom mounted on a pumpkin sprouting from a solid marble base". The awards ceremony also had a Halloween-themed fashion show as a fundraiser for the Women's Coalition Against Domestic Violence. [9]

At the 2003 Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival the Avenet Images film Ghost of the Needle won the award for "Best Feature". [10] The award for "Best Short" was a tie between Andy Lalaino's Filthy and Nicholas Davis' William Wilson. Headhunter, directed by Adam Alleca, won the "Best Special Effects" award and Georg Koszulinski won "Best Director" for his zombie film Blood of the Beast. [11]

The 2004 Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival received 243 official entries, and 12 non-competition films, from 5 countries and 14 U.S. states. The festival selected 27 of these films to be shown at the Columbus Theatre. Six festival entries made their U.S. premiere and five made their world premiere. [12] Among the films being shown was Tales of the Uncanny (1919), a five-part German horror film, with live musical accompaniment by Boston composer James Rohr. It was followed by Shelf Life and Freak Out (2004). The latter film would go on to win a number of festival awards. [13] Other selected films included Dead & Breakfast , Graveyard Alive , The Last Horror Movie , London Voodoo , and There's Something Out There . [14] Proceeds from the event went towards the Patricia Neal Scholarship Fund to help college students study film. [4] [15]

Ric Rebello, an independent filmmaker and instructor at Bristol Community College, took over as festival director in 2005. [3] [16] Hellbent , reportedly the first-ever gay slasher film, premiered at the 2005 Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival [15] and won the "Vanguard Award". Jason Hack attended the festival, along with executive producers Julie Bounds and Robert Lambert, and was awarded "Best Director" for his film Day X which made its U.S. premiere at the festival. [17]

Festival submissions rose dramatically from 150 in 2006 [18] to 383 entries in 2011. [19] The 2006 Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival was covered by three radio stations and four horror websites. Among the winning films were Grace by Paul Solet (Best Short), Die You Zombie Bastards! by Caleb Emerson (Best New England), Bone Sickness by Brian Paulin (Best Makeup FX), and Camp Blood: The Musical by Tanner Barklow, Jefferson Craig and Thomas Hughes (Audience Award).

Selected films for the 2007 festival included Chill , Cthulhu , and the comedy horror films The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror and Gay Zombie. [21] The Terror Factor , a comedy slasher film directed by Garry Medeiros, was chosen out of 40 other entries to win the "Best of New England" award. [22] [23] Family Portrait, produced by Pittsburgh filmmakers Matt Bonacci and Anthony Colliano, were among the multiple horror shorts and zombie films shown that year. [24]

At the 2008 Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival, 47 films were selected from over 250 submissions. [25] Among these were Blackspot, a New Zealand horror film which had won an award at the RIIFF two months earlier, [26] and Scott Bunt's surreal Sea of Dust then making its U.S. premiere. [27] The latter film tied with the Jung Brothers' Epitaph for "Best Picture". The Providence Journal considered another New Zealand film, Paul Campion's Eel Girl , to be the stand out film of seven horror shorts shown at Bell Street Chapel and later won the "Best Short" category. The publication also reviewed Gary Fierro's Pickman's Model, based on the H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name, Devi Snively's Death in Charge and Ryan Spindell's Kirksdale, with the latter two films receiving high praise. [28] Other films at the festival were Christian Vampires from Suburbia, A Hood in the Woods, Trailer Park of Terror and Jeffrey Schwarz award-winning documentary Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story. Also at the event were co-directors Joe DiGiorgi and Anthony Salerno of Headline Studio, where they promoted Sion Sono's Exte: Hair Extensions , and author K.

H. P. Lovecraft Walking Tour

The H. P. Lovecraft Walking Tour is an annual walking tour, sometimes called a "ghost walk", held at the Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival in Providence, Rhode Island. It is regarded as one of the festival's longest-running and most popular attractions. [6] [33] [35] [42] The event was sold-out in 2011 [19] and 2012, the latter being held in spite of Hurricane Sandy. [38] Presented by the Rhode Island Historical Society, the tour is 90 minutes and visits the former haunts of fantasy-horror author Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), including the present-day site of Lovecraft's former home (between Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design) and the landmarks mentioned in his novels such as the Benefit Street houses, the First Baptist Church and Prospect Terrace Park. At the conclusion of the tour, guests often have been invited to special screenings at the Providence's historic Columbus Theater, where Lovecraft himself was an avid moviegoer, to see films inspired by the author's stories.
