Nickel Festival Update - Late Night Horror Show!

The people heading up the Nickel festival held a press conference yesterday announcing exactly what's in store for July 18 - 22, 2006. They not only announced their film lineup (which I'll post at the end) but, they also let known what workshops they have planned and what other nightly entertainment is in the works. I gotta say, things are really lookin' good... and more is yet to come.

One of the most interesting things about the festival this year is that they have added a late night Horror Show to their program for the first time in their 6 year existance. One of those movies (the last of the evening) is "Moonlight in your Blood", which of course is the film I starred in, along with the wonderful Monica Walsh.

The picture to the right, by the way, is a screen cap from the films trailer, which also was shown during the press conference yesterday. If you want to view the trailer yourself, it's on google video and in fact, is embedded in my last post. Please, check it out and let me know what you think.
