Housecore Horror Festival Returns For Third Year
The Housecore Horror Festival will be returning for its third year, running November 13th-15th in San Antonio, Texas at the Aztec Theater. It is being presented by Housecore Records founder Philip H. Anselmo (ex-Pantera, Down), who is paying tribute to festival co-founder Corey Mitchell, who tragically passed away last October.
Anselmo states:
I’ve got a great team in place to help make this what Corey and I wanted it to be. There are a lot of mixed emotions here because no one can replace him. But, we know he would want this to continue and so that’s what we’re going to do. We miss him and think about him every day.
There will also be films screened from the personal libraries of Anselmo and Mitchell and filmmakers are encourage to submit their films. Anselmo writes, “When Corey and I started this thing, it was important to us that we help independent filmmakers get their incredible work discovered. Nothing has changed, in that respect.”
Below is a poster that shows the bands that are set to perform, with more set to be announced in the coming weeks.
Mitchell was part of the Bloody-Disgusting family, so we are happy to see his memory live on.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
