The L.A. Film Fest is nearly upon us and the programming slate has been revealed. The festival runs June 14th – 24th and, after scouring the film guide, we wanted to alert you to a few titles that will be playing there.

Castro may not be amused, but you will be.
- Saturday Morning Massacre (DIRECTOR Spencer Parsons WRITERS Jory Balsimo, Aaron Leggett, Jason Wehling PRODUCERS Jonny Mars, Jason Wehling CAST Josephine Decker, Paul Gordon, Jonny Mars, Ashley Spillers, Adam Tate) Four professional ghost hunters, who travel in a vintage van accompanied by their canine companion (sound familiar?), get far more than they bargained for when they take on a rambling mansion with a mysterious past. ?

And, under documentaries…
- Vampira and Me (DIRECTOR/PRODUCER R. H. Greene) Before Elvira there was Vampira, the playfully ghoulish host of a local L.A. late night horror movie show who became a national celebrity, then disappeared.
