After Dark Horrorfest 2007 Starts Today!

HORRORFEST explodes into theaters today (November 9th - 18th, 2007) with another 8 films to die for. Started in 2006 by After Dark Films as an annual celebration of the horror genre, this year's Horrorfest features a wide spectrum of films guaranteed to make your skin crawl. Here is the list of this year's movies. Some of them look promising and I really enjoyed the majority of last year's selection. I will give reviews of all eight movies as I see them.
