(Radio Iowa) - Southeast Iowa is hosting an international horror film festival next weekend, along with what organizers describe as a spooky celebration of all things Halloween.
Holly Berg is co-founder of Halloweenapalooza, now in its 14th year of haunting Ottumwa. The film fest will draw fans of the genre from all corners of Iowa and across the Midwest, as Berg says independent filmmakers from all over the world submitted films for screenings. The event also includes costume contests, a zombie walk, and celebrity guests from several films who will be signing autographs, posing for photos and speaking at panel discussions.
Ottumwa's Bridge View Center will also host a long list of venders, selling horror movie memorabilia and Halloween decor October 11th and 12th.
