12:00pm: "I'll teach you to throw away my comic books!"
Well rested and with plenty of supplies I was in my seat about 10 minutes before the start of the event. After a brief announcement from a member of the International House staff and an introduction from Joe and Dan from Exhumed Films the 1st feature un-spooled.

Thanks SO much for listing the shorts...I was so upset that I had missed the title of the short that I now see is called Chickamauga!
No problem... The shorts/trailers are some of my favorite parts of the horror-thon so I make a point to be there for all of them. They played less trailers this years which was kind of a bummer but all in all it was still a great event.
Chickamauga was a tough one to figure out. My notes said "Cookamunga" which I knew wasn't right. Short of asking one of the Exhumed guys I ended up on a mad Google search Monday morning.
