RIP HORROR FILM FESTIVAL 2016

Heavy Makeup will launch opening night of the festival with a celebrity red carpet premiere event at 8:00pm on Thursday, November 10th.

Morrissey’s award-winning supernatural chiller Trick of the Witch will screen on Saturday, November 12th at 10:00pm with the director and cast members attending to introduce the film.

The film also stars Share Cherrie, Owen Alabado (Showtime’s Shameless) Suzy Cote (TV’s CSI, The Guardian) and Rebecca Da Costa (Mine Games). Trick of the Witch previously won the Best Horror Film Award and the Audience Award at the New York International Independent Film Festival in 2010 and had a limited theatrical run at the Laemmle Theatres.

Another festival highlight is Condo Hell, the directorial debut from actress Amy Wade (Special Dead).

Chris Morrissey's film SUPERSTAR FEMALE SERIAL KILLER featured in film book!

Superstar Female Serial Killer Movie

Actor Director Chris Morrissey's first feature film SUPERSTAR FEMALE SERIAL KILLER was recently featured in the book "Serial Killer Cinema" by Robert Cettl. This is a great book with a lot of detailed film coverage. Be sure to request a copy through your favorite book store or purchase one from an online store!

Serial Killer Cinema is a detailed analysis and chronological contextualization of the development of the genre and is followed by a comprehensive analytical filmography of some 500+ films from the silent era to the beginning of the C21st and the popularization of the Hannibal Lector movies.  Included in the analysis is the evolution of the genre in tandem to important developments in criminological science and forensic investigation as they centered increasingly on the role of the "profiler", a character type which distinguishes the serial killer film above other types of police procedural dramas.
