One of the highlights of this year’s Salem Horror Fest will be a live performance from John Waters, and the fest has announced today that Maurizio Guarini, founding member of the synth-horror group GOBLIN (Suspiria, Zombi 2), will also be performing in Salem this year!
Guarini will be performing a live score to 1911’s Dante’s Inferno, the first-ever feature length film produced in Italy. A surreal and still-shocking adaptation of the most infamous section of Dante’s The Divine Comedy, the film follows Virgil leading Dante through the nine circles of Hell as a framing device for a series of spectacular scenes, striking and unusual visual effects, astounding sets, and a huge cast of extras (often naked or barely clothed).
The performance, taking place S comes in the midst of a ten-day festival that will feature premieres, parties, live music, lectures, podcasts, celebrity appearances and more in the Halloween capital of the world beginning Thursday, October 3 through Monday, October 14, 2019.
Hotel availability and Airbnb rentals are extremely limited in Salem during October, so we strongly encourage you to book accommodations as soon as you can!
