Horror Comes to Orlando at the Florida Film Festival - March 28 - April 5, 2009

So, the "horror" at this year's Florida Film Festival is noticably much tamer than say that of the Philadelphia Film Festival which is also unspooling this week. That does not, however, mean that some of these films won't be entertaining.

The FFF has a decidely more family-friendly horror angle and also seems to delve into some apocalyptic sci-fi and some supernaturalish thrillers.

Check out the FFF website for ticket/film pass info here.

Also, be sure to check out the FFF Forums for panels featuring The Blair Witch Project producer Robert Cowie and Film Threat magazine editor Chris Gore.

Below you will find the horror related feature films, documentaries, and short films along with their respective dates, times, and locations.
