2010 South African HORRORFEST
WRAP-UP




As with each of the annual HorrorFest events since 2005, every year gets better and better.
Some of this year's many highlights included the sold out live soundtrack performance to the
classic 1925 PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by THE MAKABRA ENSEMBLE, and the first 3D movie
at the HorrorFest and Labia Theatre in the shape of ORLOK THE VAMPIRE (also sold out).
KAALO, the first ever day-time-creature-horror from India made its world premiere with its producer
Yash Patnaik flying in for the occasion.
A live music after party with an animal charity cause attached closed proceedings and a whole lot more.
A huge thank-you to all attending viewers, movie-makers, sponsors, press and staff.

For info on purchasing HorrorFest T-shirts, DVDs and limited edition HorrorFest branded wine
