A friend and I volunteered again this year to and helped out with Philip H. Anselmo’s and Corey Mitchell’s Housecore Horror Film Festival (HHFF) Part II held in Austin again this year. It was another great experience as I was in the Lead position in charge of other volunteers. Working as Head of Security for the outdoor Midway Stage at Midway Field House – Sports Bar & Arcade. We were all dedicated to make this an even bigger success than last year, so that we can continue to keep this event in Austin. Phil reassured us that the event will go on again, as well as in Austin. This year celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, locally made cult film. Taking place on the weekend before Halloween, people came out from all over the world to attend the event, melding music and film together perfectly.
Sadly, Corey Mitchell, the Co-Founder of the Festival passed away of a heart attack during load out at Emo’s, only hours following the conclusion of the festival. Our hearts and prayers go out to Corey and his family. Read more.
