Housecore Horror Film Festival

The Housecore Horror Film Festival was a combined horror film and metal music festival curated by Pantera singer Philip Anselmo. The first edition took place at Emo's in Austin on October 25–27, 2013, with 35mm screenings of horror classics, guest directors, curated series and indie horror submissions. The 2014 edition, October 23–26, included the official 40th-anniversary cast reunion for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. In 2015 the festival moved to San Antonio's Aztec Theatre and handed out its 'Rotscars' awards. No later edition was found, and its website is now gone.
