What's New?

This week we have a round up of events and movies around the OT that Horror Fans may find interesting. MAYFAIR THEATRE Tonight at 8:45 you can catch the last showing of "Hereditary". This film has been garnering a lot of attention lately, both positive and negative, so be sure to check it out. August 15th is the Ottawa Premiere of "The Crescent". This indie horror/mystery has been racking up awards at festivals across the country. I know very little about it, but the trailer looks intriguing. And on August 20 and 21st don't miss a big screen viewing of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" with the amazing Gray Oldman in the title role. If you haven't seen this on the big screen, do yourself a favour and go. You can find all these and more on The Mayfair website .

Mayfair - There is usually one horror title to be had each month, so checking in on the weekly schedule is a must. I'm still kind of swooning over being able to watch Phantasm: Ravager on the big screen not long ago! Pro tip: It's on Shudder now, along with the remaster of the original if you missed it! Bytowne Cinema - The Girl On The Train may not be horror, and neither is The Handmaiden, but both are getting buzz in horror circles Shudder - The new-to-the-north horror streaming service has us covered. In snow, blood or both! Rob Zombie's ...

REPOST- Typicallydia on the Zen of horror-fanaticism

(Ed. Note: The following was posted on typicallydia's blog today. We're reposting it with her gracious permission here, because I think it speaks to what Ottawa Horror is all about. You don't have to be an "expert" to be here, you just have to enjoy Horror in any of its forms. - Sonsey) The Zen of horror-fanaticism Unlike so many of my friends, I take my love of horror films and books very lightly. I cringe when anyone refers to me as an expert, as I know dozens of actual experts (like Howard!) as they are the ones I turn to for information.

I grow weary of re-hashed opinion on many horror personalities as it sounds to me trite, base, automatic and hollow. This is me, now dodging rotten tomatoes. The wonders brought to the screen are not lost on me. Though I cannot recite a list of crew membe...
