From: Atlanta HorrorFest/Zombie Walk 3
Date: Oct 10, 2008 7:42 PM

My name is Lucas Godfrey, Festival Director of Atlanta Horrorfest. Many of you out there know who I am and are aware that from the beginning this festival has been my creation and been under my control . Recently, Atlanta Horrorfest and Festival League (who was handling the film submissions) split ways due to a difference of opinions. Eric Panter from Festival League started up a separate film festival called the Atlanta Horror Film Fest once he was dissociated from Atlanta Horror Fest. He then proceeded without even informing any of the filmmakers that their films would be screened at his last minute festival. These filmmakers graciously submitted their films and paid the fees to have their creative pieces screened at the 3rd annual Atlanta Horrorfest, of which consists of over 30 bands, various events, parties, panels, and the Zombie Walk.

As if this wasn’t enough, Atlantahorrorfest.com has been accessed by an unauthorized means by Eric Panter of Festival League and Atlanta Underground Film Festival. He also used unauthorized means to access the Atlanta Horrorfest myspace page today, while also forging messages, using my name, telling people that I have been fired…which is impossible as I am the documented CEO of Gorehound Productions LLC.  The Atlanta Horrorfest is a registered Trade Name of Gorehound Productions LLC in both Fulton and Dekalb counties in Georgia. In addition, the names Atlanta Horrorfest and Atlanta Horror Fest are both pending filed trademarks of Gorehound Productions LLC.

If you submitted a film to Festival League for the Atlanta Horrorfest, we regrettably do not have it unless you have heard from me personally already. Eric has unlawfully taken all films and submission fees and started up the Atlanta Horror Film Fest, which is of NO ASSOCIATION with the Atlanta Horrorfest. For the past 6 months you all aware that the Atlanta Horrorfest has been advertised as being at the Masquerade and only the Masquerade. There is no stopping this festival, I just need your support and i need your help. Please repost this and tell everyone you know. Please bare with us as we get the website situation resolved.  Until we have that domain name back, we will be using www.atlhorrorfest.com.  Which is the exact same as the old site.

THE ATLANTA HORRORFEST IS STILL HAPPENING AT THE MASQUERADE OCT. 23-26th 2008.  NOTHING HAS CHANGED.  Please show your support and help out one of Atlanta’s greatest festivals! Also we lost a lot of our dear myspace friends in this, so please repost this as a bulletin to retrieve all of our friends!!!

If anyone wishes to see documentation proving any of the above statements, just ask.

PLEASE GO TO MY BLOG AND POST COMMENTS IN SUPPORT AS WELL AS REPOSTING THIS.  It would mean the world to all the people and fans who help put this event together every year!   My humble apologies for any confusion this may cause any of you.

Iron Man – May 2nd

Got to admit that I’m actually excited about this one.  So far all the trailers I’ve seen make it look pretty good.  Not a huge Robert Downey Jr fan myself, but I like what he’s doing with Tony Stark.

Speed Racer – May 9th.

Going to suck.  Sure it’ll look great.  But I don’t think the Wachowskis can bring the plot.  And eye candy alone isn’t going to be enough for me.  But since I grew up loving Speed, I know I’m going to see it regardless. 

Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian – May 16th

Could be good, but I don’t have any plans to see it.  Saw the first movie in the series, but since I didn’t care much for the books, I don’t really care that much for the film adaptations. 

Indiana Jones & Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – May 22nd

I have strong hesitations about this one.  Been way too long since the last movie.  And my biggest fear?  Two words…George Lucas.  He pretty much killed one beloved trilogy, I’m worried he’s going to do the same to this one.  And I still can’t buy Shia LaBeouf as some biker tough guy. 

Sex And The City – May 30th

I’m a straight guy.  I don’t care.

The Incredible Hulk – June 13th

I don’t know.  First one wasn’t great and not having high hopes for this one either.  I like that Edward Norton is heavily involved, but that might not be enough.

The Happening – June 13th

Tired of all things M. Night Shyamalan.  Probably won’t see it.

Get Smart – June 20th

I like Steve Carell, I like Anne Hathaway.  I haven’t seen anything about this yet, but I’m looking forward to it for now.

The Love Guru – June 20th

Mike Myers with a wacky foreign accent?  When will the hilarity begin?  No seriously, when?

Wall-E – June 27th

Pixar hasn’t had a flop yet.   So I’m sure if they can’t make an interesting story about a garbage compacting robot, no one can. 

Wanted – June 27th

Don’t know anything about the graphic novel this is based on, but Angela Jolie starring as some bad ass assassin is enough to get me into a theatre. 

Hancock – July 2nd

Will Smith as a down and out superhero.  Zzzzzzzzzzz

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army – July 11th

Yes, yes and yes.  They upped the Guillermo del Toro and that’s enough for me.

The Dark Night – July 18th

Loved Batman Begins, so very much looking forward to this.  The whole Heathe Ledger passing is going to bring out the morbidly curious, but I think this movie can shoulder past all that. 

X-Files: I Want To Believe – July 25th

Wasn’t into the show all that much back when it was on and that was a long time ago.  Do people still care about X-Files?

Step Brothers – July 25th

Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly are comic gold.  But this could be a 5 minute joke that lasts for 90 minutes.

And I don’t feel like going into the August releases, so that’s it. 
What do you think?

Best Week Ever personality, Doug Benson, host of Master P Theater and marijuana enthusiast is now on Super Deluxe, with “I Love Movies.” Enjoy.

To Hell With Hitler is a collection of World War II era cartoon shorts that will be shown in all of their 16mm glory.  This one time event is brought to you by C. Martin Crocker (of Cartoon Network fame) and ASIFA Atlanta. 

So if you’re thinking about going, this takes place on Tuesday, Feb 19th.  General admission is $7 and only $4 if you’re a member of ASIFA.  The shorts start at 7:30 and the event will be hosted by C. Martin Crocker, who will discuss these cartoons that are a part of his own personal collection.  Now whether he discusses them in the voice of Zorak is not known at press time.
