Interview: Tim Meunier, Director of the Sacramento Horror Film Festival

Often called the "Zombie Capitol of the World" and also home to gore effects legend Tom Savini, the city and its many surrounding areas and towns have had their share of horror related events including the Zombie Fest hosted by the It's Alive Show folks who organize the Zombie Walks at the Monroeville Mall where Romero's original DAWN OF THE DEAD was filmed and the Monster Bash convention (often in Butler, PA) organized by Ron Adams of Creepy ...
