The NEPA Horror Fest began as the NEPA Horror Film Festival in October of 2015 with an event called "13 Short Films" at River Street Jazz Cafe in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The event was free and screened horror films from all around the world, including three locally-made films. It was a successful event with over 100 attendees. Since then, the festival has done a handful of screenings at Ale Mary's at the Bittenbender in Scranton, Pennsylvania, specializing in screening shot-on-video low-budget cult classics from the 1980s and 1990s.
Some of the feature-length films we have screened include John Wintergate's Boardinghouse (1982), Todd Sheets' Zombie Bloodbath (1993), Todd Jason Cook's Death Metal Zombies (1995), John and Mark Polonia's Feeder's 2: Slay Bells (1998), Austin Bosley's Dismembering Christmas (2015), and Ryan Logsdon's Agoni (2015). In 2016, we hosted "13 Short Films 2," with a more expanded event schedule comprised of film screenings, vendor tables, stand-up comedy, Q&A panels, and even celebrity guests. Today, our event has joined forces with the Scranton Punk Rock Flea Marker & Zinefest and has expanded to the Circle Drive-In in Dickson City, Pennsylvania to bring about a greater appreciation of independent filmmakers, visual artists, and musicians.
