As an added bonus, Paul Naschy’s Spanish classic, “The Mummy’s Revenge”!
In addition, there will be a thirty-minute reel of rare horror and exploitation trailers, and appearances and talks from industry professionals and personalities – Donald Farmer (“Red Lips”), Jonathan Thornton (Blood Feast 2), Philip Newman (“Savage Vengeance”), and “The Sisters of Outsider Cinema” – Amy Lynn Best, Jasi Cotton Lanier, Ryli Morgan and Lilith Stabs.
