Telluride Horror Show
The Telluride Horror Show is a film festival that takes place in the mountain resort town of Telluride, Colorado. Over a three day weekend each mid-October, the festival exhibits horror, dark fantasy films, sci-fi films, and thriller films from around the world and attendees from all over the United States.[1] HistoryFounded in 2010, the Telluride Horror Show is Colorado's first and longest-running genre film festival.[2] Films are shown in three theaters: the Palm, the Nugget Theater, and the historic Sheridan Opera House.[3] Additional events include the Creepy Campfire Tales and book signing with an established author from the horror genre, the Pig Roast, the I Scream Social, the Killer Karaoke Party, and the Dread Central Horror Trivia competition.[4] Since its inception, the festival's pulp magazine-style posters have been created by cartoonist/illustrator Mark Zingarelli.[5] At the 2015 festival, writer/director producer Henry Selick settled the long-running debate that his 1993 classic The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween movie, not a Christmas movie.[6] In 2018, the festival opened a brick and mortar horror merchandise store, Gargoyle's Gift Shop.[7] Special Guests2019[8] Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist and MacArthur genius grant winner Joe Bob Briggs, film critic and performer Eli Craig, director of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil Joshua Hoffine, horror photographer Meredith Borders, managing editor of Fangoria Jeremy Robert Johnson, horror author
