Dead By Dawn 2013 was an absolute blast. It was funtimes all the way watching a dazzling array of horror movies and hanging with horror family in the Filmhouse bar.
Friday night’s double bill of Basket Case and Brain Damage, introduced by the mighty Frank Henenlotter and aided and abetted by the demented antics of Albert Cadabra, was an absolute highlight. Frank also directed the audience in a series of Dead Pics – you can witness the results at the official Dead By Dawn Fassbock Page.
For ace in-depth coverage of the festival, look no further than Brutal As Hell where the reviews are second to none.
Meantime, here’s a handful of pics I took during the frivolities, before I was carried away by the deadite hordes to my tequila-flavoured doom.
Dead By Dawn, I salute you. Klaatu…barada…nikto!

Nice ode to Gort at the end. Sounds like a great night. Love Basket Case. It shows Times Square the way it should be – gritty, dirty and dangerous.
Cheers Hunter. It was an awesome weekend… and almost as gritty, dirty & dangerous as Basket Case’s NY! 😀
Now that’s saying something!
