The first announcement is out for the third annual ‘Housecore Horror Film Festival‘, which this year will move to San Antonio, TX and take place at the Aztec Theater on November 13th-15th. Phil Anselmo (Down, ex-Pantera, etc.) will be using the festival to pay tribute to his late friend, and festival co-founder, Corey Mitchell—who passed away shortly after last years fest. Anselmo said of that:
“I’ve got a great team in place to help make this what Corey and I wanted it to be. There are a lot of mixed emotions here because no one can replace him. But, we know he would want this to continue and so that’s what we’re going to do. We miss him and think about him every day.”
Bands confirmed to play the festival thus far include:
Suffocation
Autopsy
Cripple Bastards
Nails
Syk & Dalila Kayros
YOB
Eyehategod
Child Bite
Warbeast
Further acts are pending with Maryland Deathfest co-founder Ryan Taylor helping Anselmo book the lineup this year. Various plans are being hatched for the film element of the festival as well and will soon be revealed.
