The Bone Bat Comedy Of Horrors Film Festival Returns For 2022, Weird And Wild As Ever

Well, it’s that time of year again in Seattle. Spring is in full swing, the weather’s getting better, so what other decision is there than to spend a (potentially) gorgeous day inside in a dark-ass movie theater watching horror movies? If that sounds like a damn fine time, the Bone Bat Comedy of Horrors film festival is back for their first in-person gathering since, you know, the world came to a screeching halt…for some reason that escapes me at the moment. (Just kidding, it was a global plague.)

 

On Saturday, May 7th, 2022, Bone Bat returns to SIFF Uptown, it’s home for the past few installments. This is consistently one of the most unique, entertaining film events on the Seattle film scene. For the eleventh time, Steve and Gord are back to host this collection of gore, laughs, more gore, a few guffaws, gore, a couple chuckles, and, you guessed it, gore. And a few musical interludes, featuring regular guests, the Pinebox Boys. And an expansive raffle, where I still have never won a damn thing. And there’s beer.

Like I said, there are much worse ways to spend a day. And let’s be honest here, you know you don’t have anything better to do.

This year, the fest plays host to the Seattle premiere of Comedy of Horrors, Vol 1:

 “A horror comedy anthology. Imagine if you’re just a kid and your substitute teacher shows up to read from her favorite book about clowns-puppets-princesses and superheroes. Except they are not as kid friendly as you would expect. As a matter of fact they are horrifying.”

As well as the Seattle debut of the feature-length CRABS!:

“A horde of murderous crab monsters descend on a sleepy coastal town on Prom night, and only a ragtag group of outcasts can save the day.”
