When it comes to film in Seattle, the Seattle InternationalFilm Festival gets most of the press and love—and with good reason, it’s a
near-month-long marathon of incredible movies from all around the globe. But
SIFF isn’t the only game in town, and if you’re tastes run to the twisted,
horrific, and occasionally downright strange, BoneBat’s annual “Comedy ofHorrors” film festival may be just what your warped mind requires, and this
year’s fest just dropped a new trailer and announced the full line up.
Mixing comedy and horror is a tricky proposition. For every
Shaun of the Dead that hits, there are what feels like
dozens of other films with the same idea that step up to the plate and whiff
like a chubby asthmatic kid on his first at bat (not asthmatic, but I know a
thing or two about being chubby and bad a baseball). Hence, putting together an
entire festival of such films is a daunting task, but for the last five years,
the BoneBat Comedy of Horrors Film Festival has done just that. The latest installment,
Bone Bat V, went down last weekend and, as with previous years, it was a total
blast.
