SAYLES on SAYLES.

The BLOOD begins to rain tonight! Unfortunately, it looks as if that blood will also be mixed with some "Light Rain" and "Showers" for at least part of the night. Should you prefer your blood unadulterated, note that clear skies are expected for Saturday.

Top Horror novels of 2020? Hey, look who's book is there! It's adorably horrific ICFS guest Grady Hendrix!

ROCKY HORROR and PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE will be at the HI-WAY DRIVE-IN this coming Friday and Saturday. PLEASE SUPPORT THEM WITH THIS EVENT. I'm talking to the owner of the drive-in about possibly staying open for an extra weekend this year, in order to do a GODZILLA triple feature on Oct. 23/24, but he says it depends a lot on how well ROCKY and PHANTOM do this weekend. Sadly, our DtD event, and the METALLICA event a few weeks ago, were pretty much his only big successes so far this summer.

Our "friends" in Wakaliwood ask that we support our local theater... so that they have something to destroy when next they attack us! I sent them the following response: "Schenectady was first destroyed in 1690 by French Canadians, who needed the assistance of Algonquin and Sault raiders to take us down. We rebuilt only to next be attacked by Wakaliwood commandos in 2016, and then again in 2019. On both occasions, Proctologists a-holed up deep within the bowels of Proctors ...theatre, refused to bend over. Led by our fearless commander, General Electric, Schenectady was defended from Wakaliwood's deep, offensive probes. Tragically, in March of this year, Emperor Coronavirus successfully forced Proctors to shut its doors. Be assured that we do not grow weak in the darkness, however. No! We grow STRONGER! And as such, when Wakalliwood makes its 3rd assault, as we know they will... we will again be ready! See more

Nothing is certain yet, but ICFS founder Paul Kazee (that's me) is working on getting a GODZILLA TRIPLE FEATURE at a local drive-in in LATE October. Keep your fingers crossed folks! In the meantime, don't forget to come out to the HI-WAY DRIVE-IN to support the two upcoming DEAD 'TIL DAWN events I present with former Apostrophe Cafe manager, Phil Dubois. First up is a weekend marathon of horror on September 18 and 19. This will be followed-up with screenings of the famed BLOOD ISLAND TRILOGY on October 16 and 17. See flyers below.
