Morbido Film Fest in Patzcuaro a Festival of the Fantastic and the Terryfying

Patzcuaro thrilled terror-loving moviegoers with a Film Festival of the Fantastic and the Terrifying from November 15 to 18th, 2012.  There were eighty spine-tingling shorts; in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the death of the Irish author Bram Stroker – creator of Dracula – many of the films were of his genre.
