The Eerie Horror Film Festival , which takes place in Erie, Pa. from October 8 - 12, has officially opened its call for entries and is looking for submissions from all over the world. (click here for information on submitting your film, video game or screenplay) There's a few announcements out of their camp, including that Kane "Jason Vorhees" Hodder & Tony "Michael Myers" Moran are the first two guests announced and that Fuji Film is going to be a sponsor, which is pretty cool because the winner of the "Best Cinematography" category will win $2,500 worth of film. Also, there lots of submission categories, so there has to be something you can enter. Categories include: Horror Feature, Horror Short, Science Fiction Feature, Science Fiction Short, Suspense Feature, Suspense Short, Student (10 - 17 yrs of age) Horror Feature; Student (10 - 17 yrs of age) Horror Short; Short Length Screenplay; Feature Length Screenplay; Student (10 - 17 yrs of age) Feature Length Screenplay; Student (10 - 17 yrs of age) Short Length Screenplay, Video Game Concept, Video Game in Production and Completed Video Game.

I didn't have any information on the SXSW Film Conference and Festival (South by South West) before, so it's a new listing, as far as Dead Harvey's concerned.

It's getting a lot of buzz and it's supposed to be quite good... it's Gregg Bishop's second feature, after 2006's "The Other Side", which was great. There's Tony Krantz's "Otis", which is a satire of a 'Leave it to Beaver' world colliding with the gore-porn world of a modern day serial killer. It's actually the fourth feature under Warner Home Video's Raw Feed production banner. Then there's Edward Anderson's directorial debut, "Shuttle", which is about a late night airport shuttle ride home that decends into darkness and, finally, Mark Young's "Southern Gothic", which is a genre-blurring drama/horror film set in the South about a a self-destructive, suicidal alcoholic who chases after a psychotic preacher on a bloody crusade because he kidnapped the alcoholic's friend's daughter...
