Long Island, NY - January 16th, 2013 - TwitchTwitch Productions presents Long Island’s only film festival catering to the horror, suspense, thriller genres. The Fest will showcase independent films from around the world for the 2nd Annual Macabre Faire Film Festival and unite filmmakers, actors, producers and horror fans under one roof for 2 days of movie madness and awards.

The Macabre Faire Film Festival takes pride in being the FIRST and ONLY Film Festival on the Island working hand in hand with Long Island’s very own MonsterChannel.tv live streaming program with over 20,000 viewers monthly. This winter’s Film Fest will include English subtitled shorts from Spain as well as films from Canada, UK, Ireland and the USA. There will also be a special presentation of Twentieth Century Fox “House at the End of the Street” directed by Mark Tonderai as well as "Bereavement" directed by Stevan Mena.
