Telluride Horror Show Announces The First Wave Of Programming!

What a lineup!

I am so excited to attend the Telluride Horror Show 8th edition in October of this year. I'll be moderating some conversations and Q&As with visiting filmmakers, and if you can make it to Telluride October 13-15, I hope you'll join me. This will be my first year attending the Telluride Horror Show, and everything I've heard is that it's an incredible festival held in a gorgeous location. 

The first wave of programming certainly supports that thesis! Read on for the first announcement of titles, including the highly anticipated Creep 2, one of my favorite films out of Sundance 78/52 (read my review here), Can Evrenol's Housewife and Greg McLean's Jungle. Plus MUCH more, and an amazing shorts lineup, too! 

The press release: 

TELLURIDE, CO - SEPTEMBER 7th, 2017: The first wave of films has been announced for the 2017 Telluride Horror Show, which will take place October 13-15th in picturesque Telluride, Colorado (elevation 8,750 ft.). 

Festival attendees will catch the U.S. Premiere of CREEP 2 before it is released digitally worldwide by The Orchard on October 24th. The film is directed by Patrick Brice (CREEP) and features Mark Duplass, who also starred in the first film - a 2014 Telluride Horror Show Official Selection.

Other anticipated films include the Colorado Premieres of JUNGLE, directed by Greg McLean (THE BELKO EXPERIMENT) and starring Daniel Radcliffe, ahead of its October 20th release date, as well as VICTOR CROWLEY (directed by Adam Green), MAYHEM (directed by Joe Lynch), and THE ENDLESS (directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead). 

Please read on for a letter from festival director Ted Wilson, as well as a full breakdown of the first wave. 

From Festival Director, Ted Wilson:

"For dedicated genre fans, the first wave of films for the 2017 Telluride Horror Show reads like a list of old friends. Featuring the latest films from known directors - Greg McLean's JUNGLE, Adam Green's VICTOR CROWLEY, Joe Lynch's MAYHEM, Ryuhei Kitamura's DOWNRANGE, and Alexandre O. Philippe's 78/52 - and the latest from festival alumni - Patrick Brice's CREEP 2, Can Evrenol's HOUSEWIFE and Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead's THE ENDLESS - it's a list we hope strikes excitement (and a little fear) into the hearts of our attendees. With the addition of the Palm Theatre, we welcome back our "Vault Keeper", renowned producer Jon Davison (Robocop/Starship Troopers), who will present what is believed to be the last remaining 35MM IB Technicolor print of Mario Bava's THE WHIP AND THE BODY, along with a hand-picked special edition of "Trailers from Hell", all on 35MM!  Plenty of new friends join us this year, with features that span the vast spectrum of horror: Ron Carlson's DEAD ANT, a horror comedy that touts its love for the B-Movies that inspired it, Fabien Delage's COLD GROUND and Tyler Schnabel & Sam Hanover's FRAZIER PARK RECUT, two found footage films that breathe new life into the subgenre, Leo Scherman's TRENCH 11, a thrilling horror story set within the dark last days of the First World War, Luciano & Nicolás Onetti's anticipated WHAT THE WATERS LEFT BEHIND, and a taste of British humor with Jason Flemyng's horror comedy EAT LOCALS. And to guide us through the weekend, we're excited to announce that Meredith Borders, editorial director of Birth.Movies.Death, will be our guest host, moderating conversations with special guests and visiting filmmakers.

And it wouldn't be the Telluride Horror Show without the short film showcases, presented in themed blocks, with expected sold-out crowds. Thus far, we're excited to announce 41 shorts, from alumni and newcomers, that promise to provide plenty of suspense, scares, thrills, and laughs, along with an extremely impressive display of talented filmmaking and storytelling, from all over the world.

This first wave would be enough to fill a weekend, but we've got much, much more to come! Trust us when we say this is going to be the biggest, most exciting Telluride Horror Show yet...heads will spin!"  

GUESTS

Jon Davison

VAULT KEEPER
With the addition of the Palm Theatre, glorious 35MM film returns to the Telluride Horror Show, along with our "vault keeper" Jon Davison! In 1972, American film producer Jon Davison hooked up with Roger Corman's prolific B-movie outfit New World Pictures, where he initially was the director of advertising and publicity. Davison made his debut as associate producer of "Big Bad Mama," and went on to produce the exploitation feature parody "Hollywood Boulevard," Ron Howard's directorial debut "Grand Theft Auto," and Joe Dante's tongue-in-cheek killer fish flick "Piranha" for New World Pictures. Davison left New World Pictures in 1980 to produce the classic comedies "Airplane!" and "Top Secret!" for Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers. He subsequently produced the sci-fi cult classics "RoboCop" and "Starship Troopers" for director Paul Verhoeven.

A film buff with a vast collection of vintage horror films in his vault, Mr. Davison will present what is believed to be the only remaining 35MM IB Technicolor print of Mario Bava's gorgeous and haunting gothic horror feature THE WHIP AND THE BODY, as well as a handpicked collection of vintage horror movie trailers for a special Telluride Horror Show edition of "Trailers From Hell", a matinee show celebrating outrageous horror trailers from years past. All in glorious 35MM!

FEATURES

78/52
USA | 2017 | 91 min | Director: Alexandre O. Philippe
The screeching strings, the plunging knife, the slow zoom out from a lifeless eyeball: In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho changed film history forever with its taboo-shattering shower scene. With 78 camera set-ups and 52 edits over the course of 3 minutes, Psycho redefined screen violence, set the stage for decades of slasher films to come, and introduced a new element of danger to the movie-going experience. Aided by a roster of filmmakers, critics, and fans - including Guillermo del Toro, Bret Easton Ellis, Jamie Lee Curtis, Eli Roth, and Peter Bogdanovich - director Alexandre O. Philippe pulls back the curtain on the making and influence of this cinematic game changer, breaking it down frame by frame and unpacking Hitchcock's dense web of allusions and double meanings. The result is an enthralling piece of cinematic detective work that's nirvana for film and horror buffs.
