2nd Annual Horrible Imaginings Film Festival Poised to Extend Halloween Season

The 2nd Annual Horrible Imaginings Film Festival is screening Georges Franju's supremely unsettling Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face) at 11 pm on Saturday, November 5th. Mark your calendar. Trust me. There is no better way to spend your time.

A brilliant plastic surgeon (Pierre Brasseur) turns serial killer after a car accident he was responsible for leaves his daughter permanently disfigured. The distinguished doc brings the young victims back to his dungeon (complete with bellowing Great Danes) for a quick facial peel in hopes of finding his daughter a replacement mug. Hidden behind a porcelain mask, Edith Scob turns in one of the most poetic, touching, and genuinely creepy performances in the history of horror films.

When it comes to giving you a good case of the willies, Face is right up there with Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, the original Halloween, the original The Hitcher, the original Invaders from Mars (I was six when a TV airing first hooked me and to this day the film gives me nightmares), and those goddamned flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz.

This year's HI spans two nights -- Friday and Saturday, November 4th and 5th -- and will be held at The 10th Avenue Theatre and Arts Centre located at 930 10th Avenue in downtown San Diego. Twenty-five short films, two animated shorts, two music videos and four features will be screened.

I am at a bit of a loss. Many of the shorts are making their San Diego premier, so I am able to vouch for just one other film on the docket, Ishiro Honda's Gojira (aka Godzilla minus Raymond Burr). Face seems an odd fit in this company. As Jonathan Rosenbaum points out, "It's much too elegant to warrant the usual 'psychotronic' treatment." Kudos to festival creator Miguel Rodriguez for knowing how to close his show with style, and a few legitimate chills.

"You don't think HI's Haunted Art Gallery is scary, kids?
