CineMayhem is a film festival that celebrates independent horror films.
Background[edit]
CineMayhem, a film festival for independent horror films,[1] was founded by Heather Wixson in association with Dread Central's Indie Horror Month. Wixson is a former contributor to Dread Central and currently now writes with Daily Dead. The first festival was presented in Thousand Oaks, California, and the inaugural date was March 2–3, 2013.[2] The first festival was sponsored by Scream Factory, Sideshow Collectibles, Magnet Releasing, and Breaking Glass Pictures.[3] The event is held at the Muvico theater, which Wixson arranged through connections from her hometown. An after-party at the Muvico takes place following the event.[4] The festival is designed to offer a theatrical showing to independent films that would ordinarily lack the resources for one.[5]
