Best Of: Best Way To Spend October in Phoenix, Part II

Whorticulture.com Presents: The Best October and Halloween Events in Phoenix, Arizona - The International Horror Sci Fi Film Festival!

October 14th - 17th, Phoenix holds one of it's most fun October events.  The International Horror Sci Fi Film Festival, now in it's 6th year. It's a great chance to meet celebrities and see horror or sci fi movies you probably wouldn't have the opportunity to see.

At previous festivals we've gotten the chance to meet Linda Blair, Ken Foree, Jeffrey Combs, Casper Van Dien, Adrienne King, and a bunch of others!  It's really cool to talk to them, take pictures, and ask them questions about the movies they've starred in (although Linda Blair was a huge disappointment - she cared more about shoes than the fans and didn't want to talk about The Exorcist, but rather her pet charity.  It's a great cause, but come on, you knew why you were there!).

Also, we've seen great movies there that we never would have seen.  For example, we saw Pakistan's first gore movie called Zibahkhana, or Hell's Ground.

We also saw a movie called Special, starring Michael Rapaport, which brought us to tears and we love love love!

This year is definitely going to please!  They'll be showing such awesome movies as The Fog (Charles Cyphers will be there!), Aliens (Lance Henriksen will be there!), Suspiria. and a bunch of others, including both horror and sci fi shorts!  Click here for the schedule, you'll no doubt find something you want to see!


There are a few different ticket packages to choose from, but we definitely recommend the VIP passes which get you a bunch of bonuses and are absolutely worth the money!


This event makes us happy we live in Phoenix.  Expect a few more events to pop up here on Whorticulture, but if you're only going to check one out, let this be it!
