 Dark Carnival is a week-long celebration of horror, featuring live entertainment, merchandise vendors, special guests and more - but most of all, we're all about the movies! We screen the best indie horror films from all over the planet, in the best possible venues - including a vintage drive-in, and a historic 1930s era movie theater that features state-of-the-art sound and projection equipment, on a 30 by 20 foot screen. September 28 - October 4, 2009 Bloomington, Indiana  September 28-30 at 11pm DARK'S GRAND GUIGNOL THEATRE - Dark Carnival 2009 kicks of with a LIVE, interactive horror show - Dark's Grand Guignol Theatre, featuring a terrifying mash-up of cinema and live performance. The audience becomes part of the show as a sadistic killer prowls the streets stalking his next victim. The live gore effects will have you squirming in your seat and ducking for cover. NOTE: This is a small venue and THERE WILL BE BLOOD. Audience members are encouraged to dress accordingly.  Thursday, October 1 at 7pmCINEMA SCHLOCKFEST at the DRIVE-IN - Sideshow performers and a creepy carnival midway kick-off an evening of classic schlock horror films at the Starlite Drive-In. LIVE (or DEAD) horror hosts from all over the country will be our special guests, as they present the films. Friday, October 2 HORROR HOST TRIBUTE - Horror hosts from all over will gather to pay tribute to Vampira, the original "Mistress of the Dark" and the world's first TV horror host. Michael Monahan, producer of the documentary American Scary will be a special guest of honor. Mr Monahan had the opportunity to conduct one of the last interviews with Maila Nurmi before she passed away, and he will be presenting NEVER BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE, exclusively at Dark Carnival! There will also be a "Vampira Museum" on display throughout the weekend, featuring artwork, photographs, and artifacts.  Friday, October 2FILMMAKING & SFX WORKSHOPS - Whether you're an up-and-coming filmmaker or just a fan, Dark Carnival has a great line-up of presentations and workshops.

If you're thinking about making you're own movie, learn the ins and outs of indie filmmaking from George Bonilla, a successful writer, producer, and director from ZP International Films. George's workshop last year was a huge hit, and he's coming back for an even bigger one for 2009. Visit our SCHEDULE page for MORE!
