"I absolutely loved horrorfest this year. Thank you for all the hard work in organizing and pushing through the red tape. Your commitment to the product and experiences does not go unnoticed and is much appreciated. I really like the combination of short films with feature length, the variety of the content is great and I love how different countries are featured. Thank you so much I am looking forward to next year"
